Biodiversity and Solar – Tackling the Twin Crises

By Fabiola Schneider

The twin crises of climate change and biodiversity loss are inextricably linked in a two-way process: Climate change is one of the main drivers of the biodiversity crisis, but the loss of ecosystems weakens our planet’s capacity to regulate GHG emissions and defend against extreme weather. As a consequence, climate change is further exacerbated. Nature increasingly lacks the capacity to absorb more negative impacts from our future developments.
