How strategic collaboration on the bioeconomy can boost climate and nature action

This research paper examines how strategic international collaboration on the bioeconomy can accelerate both climate mitigation and nature‑positive outcomes. It argues that while sustainable bio‑based innovations have significant potential, fragmented governance, weak coordination and geopolitical tensions are limiting impact. The paper highlights the need for coordinated policy frameworks, international forums and cross‑sector collaboration to manage trade‑offs around land use, resources and innovation pathways.
