- Abstract
The article focuses on urging global recognition that climate change and biodiversity loss constitute an indivisible crisis requiring unified action to preserve health and avert catastrophe. It reports the dangerous misconception of treating climate and nature crises separately, and it emphasizes the need for integrated solutions, as the interdependent natural world faces severe damage, threatening human health and exacerbating social and economic challenges.
