Climate and Biodiversity Initiative

By:   []

Date: 2022-04 

As climate change and biodiversity erosion are intertwined and are two of today’s most important challenges, the “Climate & Biodiversity Initiative” aims at strengthening our understanding of climate and biodiversity interactions, the ecosystem services they provide and their socio-economic impacts, including for example health issues.





The research projects supported by the BNP Paribas Foundation through its Climate & Biodiversity Initiative are selected through a call for projects every 3 years. The rigorous selection process of each call for projects has a specific governance. Indeed, the Foundation is backed by its Scientific committee composed of world-class researchers: they play a key role in selecting the most promising and outstanding research projects.





All funded projects are presented on the BNP Paribas Foundation website and YouTube : 2010-2019 projects / 2020-2022 projects.





Members of the Scientific Committee





Yunne Shin – Director of Research at IRD and Honorary Research Associate at University of Cape Town

Philippe Cury - Senior scientist at IRD (Institut de Recherche pour le Développement)

Philippe Gillet – Geophysicist, geologist and professor, Federal Polytechnic School of Lausanne

The call for projects





The aim of this call for projects is to select 6-9 research projects that will increase our understanding about issues related to climate change and biodiversity loss. The projects will receive financial support from the BNP Paribas Foundation for a three-year period (2023-2025).
