The Global Centre on Biodiversity for Climate

🌍 The Global Centre on Biodiversity for Climate (GCBC) works with partners around the world to connect science, policy, and practice to drive conservation action, protect livelihoods, and build climate resilience. Stay updated 👉 gcbc.org.uk/newsletter-sig…

✨As 2025 ends, we’re proud of our grantees, partners, and colleagues driving positive change through knowledge, care, and commitment - from protecting forgotten crops to restoring lakes, soils, mangroves, and marine ecosystems. Thank you to those who support our mission🌍🌿

#ProyectoBIOAMAZ financiado por @gcbc_org El equipo investigador de @utpl visitó la comunidad de San Virgilio y realizó el Inventario de Especies: una herramienta clave para saber cuántos individuos existen, dónde están y en qué estado se encuentran

🌏At GCBC, we champion informed, inclusive, climate-resilient action that strengthens livelihoods, reduces poverty and safeguards biodiversity. 📬Subscribe: shorturl.at/Lhtlx

At #COP30 this week, biodiversity takes center stage. To tackle the climate crisis, we must protect, restore, and sustain nature, fairly and equitably. Read the latest GCBC article on just restoration and Indigenous stewardship in Cambodia. 🔗 lnkd.in/eTiDPKjs

Beyond science, students connected with Ngäbe-Buglé communities — learning how Indigenous knowledge and local partnerships strengthen restoration and resilience. 🔗Read More: lnkd.in/e2_c5xjm Empowering young people today builds the restoration leaders of tomorrow🌳

The STRI-led project "Forest restoration on Indigenous lands" integrates science, education and community. 🌱 💧 🧬 Students gained skills in reforestation, DNA biodiversity monitoring and hydrology, preparing them to lead future restoration efforts. #COP #ClimateEducation

🎓🌿We love seeing GCBC's support educate and inspire future restoration leaders! Through the Rohr Reforestation Initiative in the Ngäbe-Buglé Comarca, STRI researchers and Emilio Mariscal led a 3-day workshop for 30 agroforestry students in Panama. #BiodiversityforClimate30

@Nature_Kenya “Our project is creating a shared vision for restoring Cherangany Hills and its billions in ecosystem services.” — Paul Gacheru, Nature Kenya 🌳Restoration, when supported by science and collaboration benefits the environment and makes smart economic sense. #ForestConservation

If trends continue, pressures on the forest will increase, threatening its survival. @Nature_Kenya suggests an alternative path - creating more value while safeguarding forest health. 📖 Learn how: gcbc.org.uk/project/unders… #ForestRestoration #BiodiversityForClimate30

🌳 What is a Forest Worth? As #COP30 starts, our spotlight is on the #Bioeconomy and the value of ecosystem services for people, nature, and climate. Kenya’s Cherangany Hills Forests produce Ksh40.5B (USD 288M) annually in services, but the future of the forest is uncertain ⬇

@ItadLtd @DefraGovUK The review identifies six pathways to impact on biodiversity, climate and livelihoods — guiding how evidence can drive transformation. Read the full Itad review: 🔗lnkd.in/eH9igaGc #Biodiversity #EvidenceForImpact #COP30

@ItadLtd @DefraGovUK Insights from the review👇 🔄 Change isn’t linear: it grows through collaboration & learning 🌍 Every context is unique 🌱 People view biodiversity & climate action differently ⚖️ Power shapes whose voices count 🔑 Impact comes from connected efforts ⚙️ Systems change takes time

🌍🌱 New evidence released today by Itad indicate that while programmes like GCBC are driving progress, the path to real impact for people, planet and climate is complex — and we don’t yet have all the answers. #BiodiversityForClimate30 @ItadLtd @DefraGovUK
