Climate & Biodiversity Initiative
Since 2010, the BNP Paribas Foundation has been supporting research into climate change and biodiversity through its Climate & Biodiversity Initiative international sponsorship programme. The goal? Improving our knowledge of the interactions between climate and biodiversity and the disruption of the climate system, to assess the consequences for our environment and our societies. This enables all stakeholders involved to adapt their behaviour.
Last update: 18 September 2024
The BNP Paribas Foundation regularly organises conferences to raise awareness among all audiences and give them a better understanding of the phenomena associated with climate change and their impact on biodiversity.
These lectures are given by the researchers leading the laureate projects in the Climate & Biodiversity Initiative programme.
