New BiodivClim briefs show how biodiversity boosts climate resilience!

Biodiversa+ has released a new series of three Issue Briefs from the BiodivClim programme, highlighting how biodiversity can strengthen Europe’s soils, forests, and landscapes against climate change.

Drawing on the latest results from 12 pan-European research projects, the briefs offer actionable insights for policymakers, land managers, and researchers working to deliver the European Green Deal. Topics include:

• The role of soil biodiversity in food production, climate mitigation, and ecosystem restoration
• Why mixed-species forests and smart financial incentives are key to long-term resilience
• How Nature-based Solutions, from perennial crops to Arctic community practices, can support adaptation across diverse landscapes

A clear message runs through all three briefs: resilience is local. One-size-fits-all approaches are falling short. Effective solutions must be tailored to ecological and social contexts, supported by smart policies, and co-developed with the communities who manage Europe’s land.

The briefs are available in English, French, Greek, Portuguese, and German, and can be explored here: https://www.biodiversa.eu/2025/10/30/biodivclim-issue-briefs/.
