Biodiversity's Role In Climate Battle

That's the central message of a free book published today by the International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED), Birdlife International and Pavan Sukhdev — leader of The Economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity study.

It warns that biodiversity loss is not only an environmental problem but also a fundamental threat to people's livelihoods, wellbeing and ability to confront the impacts of climate change.

The full colour publication — which is written in clear, engaging language and aimed at policymakers, journalists and the general public — comes on the eve of the world's biggest international conference on biodiversity, in Nagoya, Japan. Read the full report here.
