Overarching message: Climate change and biodiversity loss are inseparable threats to humankind and must be addressed together.

➢Common and interlinked drivers of climate change and biodiversity loss

Under Business as Usual, drivers of biodiversity loss increase:
➢Loss of 300 mha natural ecosystems

➢Climate change > 2 deg
➢Risk of invasive alien species increase 3-20 x
➢Input of plastic waste increase 2.6 x
