Executive Summary
The 2025 White Paper From Silos to Synergies outlines the progress and practical pathways for integrated implementation of the Rio Conventions. It highlights how countries are advancing from fragmented, project-based action toward coherent planning, financing, and monitoring systems that deliver multiple benefits across the three agendas. By synthesising lessons from global dialogues and emerging country examples, the White Paper aims to sustain momentum for system-level reform, providing both evidence and incentive for scaling up integrated, country-led approaches. It also underscores the role of data, fiscal coherence, and inclusive governance in accelerating a transition from coordination to true coherence.
