Sida’s biodiversity-related support 2020

Sustainable use and management of the earth’s resources is a prerequisite for reduced poverty and sustainable societies – for current and for future generations. In 43 per cent of Sida’s support in 2025, efforts to combat the effects of climate change and improving the environment were a significant part in initiatives in different sectors and thematic areas.1 This included efforts to avoid and reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to strengthen resilience to climate change, improve environmental sustainability, restore and sustainably manage natural resources and biodiversity, retain carbon sinks, halt desertification and support disaster risk reduction.
