“…Some of these activities include reducing green house gas emissions through the reduction of fossil fuel use, land based emissions via conservation of existing large pools in ecosystems and increase in the rate of carbon uptake by ecosystems (Kim, 2004). Depending on the design and implementation of strategies such as land use and forestry activities such as afforestation, reforestation and land management practices, as well as the use of renewable energy sources (biomass, wind power, solar power etc.)…”

Abstract:The potential adverse effects of climate change have posed serious threat to all species of the planet in many ways. Species' functional characteristics strongly influence ecosystem properties. Although significant numbers of studies have already explored the interrelationship between biodiversity, ecosystem services and climate change more focused studies have now begun to appear with the goal of investigating and analysing the negative consequences of climate change on life support systems. This review paper discusses the impacts of climate change on biodiversity and redirects how these losses of biological species on earth have affected and will continue to have effects on the delivery chain of ecosystem services. Concluding section of this paper spotlights on possible mitigation and adaptation plan of actions which contributes in minimizing climate change induced risks while supporting biodiversity and thus the entire ecosystem services. The timeliness of this review is evident because the concerns regarding the potential impacts of global climate change on species and ecosystem services are widely and seriously recognized as major threat of our time.

“…The legal frameworks of biodiversity conservation and carbon sequestration need to be integrated. The conceptual framework of this institutional interplay between the biodiversity and climate change regimes is still being developed (Kim 2004). Despite its incompleteness, this development is in line with the recent trend in environmental law, from a more sectoral approach to a more integrated one (Faure and Niessen 2006a).…”

“…It is also evident that the interplay between the biodiversity and climate change regimes is not strong (Kim 2004). The regulatory framework of the CDM in this respect is shortsighted and has been unsuccessful from the standpoint of the legislative quality indicator of legality: law should be non-retrospective, ascertainable and clear, according to the legality principle.…”

“…The regulatory framework of the CDM in this respect is shortsighted and has been unsuccessful from the standpoint of the legislative quality indicator of legality: law should be non-retrospective, ascertainable and clear, according to the legality principle. The work of the Ad Hoc Technical Expert Group (AHTEG) on Biodiversity and Climate Change of the Convention of Biological Diversity (CBD) has been important in this respect (Kim 2004). The distribution of the regulatory burden related to designing the criteria for biodiversity conservation is not left entirely to the developing countries.…”

This paper considers the current regulatory framework of small-scale carbon sinks in the clean development mechanism (CDM). The legal characteristics are assessed from perspectives related to regulation theory. To what extent does CDM regulation support active biodiversity management in the small-scale implementation of afforestation and reforestation projects? After analysing the above question, fresh concepts for better consideration of biodiversity aspects during the implementation of small-scale carbon sink projects in developing countries are presented. These new concepts are examined in the framework of the current process of legal establishment, which seeks to encourage cost-effective project implementation in cases where biodiversity impacts are appropriately taken into account during small-scale projects. Is it possible to create a workable and plausible conceptual set-up for considering additional efforts to preserve and enhance biodiversity while sequestering carbon -and to do it in a way that makes it possible to reward those efforts in the CDM framework? These questions are discussed here in a multidisciplinary manner. It is found that biodiversity specialized carbon management, which includes the new concepts, can be seen as a potential small-scale project framework for maintaining biodiversity and local development in and around a small-scale project area.

• AbstractSustainable development requires understanding both the ecological and socioeconomic dimensions of the interdependence between the climatic system and biodiversity. And coherent and integrated policies and measures should be adopted at all levels to address the critical role of biodiversity. However climate change and biodiversity related issues are addressed in a specific though fragmented manner through two of the three so-called Rio Conventions adopted in 1992, namely the UNFCCC and the CBD.Firstly, this contribution recaps the way each of these UN treaties address climate change and biodiversity related issues in the light of its own objectives and provisions. Secondly, it looks at the efforts made or not in each regime to strengthen the coordination toward more interconnected policies and measures. Thirdly, it hightlights some current challenges to address the need of a better synergistic approach of these issues.
