BioCAM4 – Biodiversity Integration in Climate Adaptation and Mitigation Actions for Planet, People, and Human Health participated in the Midterm Forum of the New Frontiers in Research Fund’s 2023 International Joint Initiative for Research on Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation on February 25 and 26, 2026. BioCAM4 joined other funded projects with international teams led by Canadian universities in a collaborative online exchange. The Forum provided a platform for projects to share progress to date, engage directly with the funder, and strengthen connections across the initiative’s international research network.

BioCAM4 actively participated through both a flash presentation and a discussion panel, offering opportunities to contribute to dialogue on international collaboration, interdisciplinary research, and partnership-based approaches. Our project partners Tropical Agricultural Research & Higher Education Center (CATIE) and Africa Research & Impact Network (ARIN) played a distinct role alongside a full presentation of the BioCAM4 team across global regions and an overview of the project and diversity of its outputs and deliverables to date.
BioCAM4 is housed at the Dahdaleh Institute for Global Health Research at York University, and is partnered with, the German Institute of Development and Sustainability (IDOS - Germany), Institute of Zoology (United Kingdom), Radboud University (Netherlands), Tropical Agricultural Research and Higher Education Center (CATIE, Costa Rica), African Research Impact Network (ARIN - Kenya), and Greater Virunga Transboundary Collaboration (Rwanda). BioCAM4 is funded by the Government of Canada’s New Frontiers in Research Fund (NFRF), Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft / German Science Foundation (DFG), and UKRI's Economic and Social Research Council.
