Abstract

The intertwined crises of biodiversity loss and climate change pose a significant sustainability challenge, threatening ecosystems and human well-being globally. Yet, the nuanced interplay between these challenges is often understated in policy dialogs. Global biodiversity targets, including 30% protection of the Earth’s surface by 2030, may fall short without robust climate change mitigation. Here, we illustrate that conservation through protected areas can effectively preserve forest productivity and carbon capture, which depend on tree diversity. However, failing to mitigate climate change diminishes the effectiveness of these areas, especially in warmer biomes. Even with optimal protected area selection, preserving tree diversity-dependent productivity could be compromised without significant climate change mitigation. Our findings emphasize the need to integrate climate change mitigation into biodiversity conservation policies to ensure the success of the 30 × 30 targets and sustain the ecosystem benefits biodiversity provides to society.

需要采取紧急气候行动,确保保护区对生物多样性有益的有效性
生物多样性丧失和气候变化这两个相互交织的危机对可持续性构成了重大挑战,威胁着全球的生态系统和人类福祉。然而,在政策对话中,这些挑战之间微妙的相互作用往往被低估。如果没有强有力的气候变化减缓措施,全球生物多样性目标(包括到 2030 年保护地球表面 30% 的生物多样性)可能无法实现。我们在此说明,通过保护区进行保护可以有效保持森林生产力和碳捕获,而这取决于树木的多样性。然而,如果不能减缓气候变化,这些保护区的效果就会大打折扣,尤其是在较暖的生物群落中。即使选择了最佳的保护区,如果没有显著的气候变化减缓措施,保护依赖于树木多样性的生产力也会受到影响。我们的研究结果表明,有必要将减缓气候变化纳入生物多样性保护政策,以确保 30×30 目标的成功实现,并维持生物多样性为社会提供的生态系统惠益。
