Biodiversity loss and climate change are often considered as intertwined issues. However, they do not receive equal attention. Even in the context of nature‐based climate solutions, which consider ecosystems to be crucial to mitigate and adapt to the impacts of climate change, the potential role of biodiversity has received little attention. Here this essay emphasizes biodiversity as the cause—not only the consequence—to help society and nature face challenges associated with the changing climate. Reconsidering and emphasizing the linkages between these twin environmental crises is urgently needed to make collective efforts for the environment truly effective.

推进基于自然的方法来应对生物多样性和气候紧急情况。

生物多样性丧失和气候变化通常被认为是相互交织的问题。但是，他们没有得到同等的关注。即使在基于自然的气候解决方案（认为生态系统对于缓解和适应气候变化的影响至关重要）的背景下，生物多样性的潜在作用也很少受到关注。在本文中，本文强调了生物多样性，不仅是后果，而且是导致社会和自然面临气候变化带来的挑战的原因，而不仅仅是后果。迫切需要重新考虑和强调这两次环境危机之间的联系，以使对环境的集体努力真正有效。
