The Scientific Council is requested, subject to the availability of resources, to: a) re-establish its Climate Change Working Group and update its Terms of Reference as needed; b) undertake a horizon scan of potential impacts of climate change on migratory species, including the identification of threats, opportunities and disrupters, as well as potential conservation actions and how they can be pragmatically implemented; c) convene a workshop, to: i. identify those migratory species most likely to be impacted by climate change, including by changes to their migration routes, and therefore most in need of conservation interventions, with a focus on those listed on Appendix I, as well as species for which interventions might have wider benefits;  ii. conduct a review of the impacts of migratory species’ range shifts on ecosystem functioning, including through the loss and introduction of migratory species and their associated ecosystem services, as well as potential policy implications; d) develop case studies to: i. showcase how migratory species have adapted to barriers to migration in the context of their adaptation to climate change, and how management interventions have helped migratory species overcome such barriers; ii. demonstrate effective actions to prepare for and respond to extreme climate events likely to impact vulnerable migratory species, including early-warning systems and response protocols; e) organize webinars outlining synergies between migratory species conservation and the delivery of wider international goals and targets, including the IPBES Nexus Assessment response options; f) promote knowledge exchange and collaboration between the CMS Scientific Council Working Groups on Climate Change and on Ecological Connectivity on overlapping areas of work; g) identify overlaps between CMS activities related to migratory species and climate change and those of related multilateral environmental agreements (MEAs), including both synergies and trade-offs; h) develop fact sheets on the benefits of migratory species conservation to the implementation of goals and targets under other MEAs, tailored for different audiences; i) address youth concerns in discussions related to migratory species and climate change; j) through the Working Group on Migratory Species and Health and Working Group on Climate Change as well as other relevant workstreams in CMS family agreements to jointly collate and discuss measures to monitor, prevent and mitigate mass mortality events of populations of migrating species and identify actions that can be taken in that regard.
