Climate change and biodiversity loss dominate concerns over anthropogenic modification of the natural world. For the last 40 years, each decade has been successively warmer than the last; the most recent with global surface temperatures 1.09 C higher than before the industrial era, c. 1850–1900 (IPCC, 2021). In addition to a changing climate, life on Earth is under extreme pressure from habitat change, invasive species, over-exploitation and pollution (Hautier et al., 2015; Millennium Ecosystem Assessment, 2005). As a result, it has been estimated that 1 million species will likely go extinct in the coming decades, coinciding with declines in overall biomass (IPBES report, 2019; Lotze et al., 2019). Together, these worrying trends of climate change and biodiversity loss define the Anthropocene era (Crutzen, 2002).The coming years will see a strong push for the development of large-scale solutions to reduce atmospheric carbon dioxide levels and air pollution to mitigate climate change, while also reversing trends in biodiversity decline. For example, the 2021–2030 UN Decades on Ecosystem Restoration (https://www. decad eonre stor a tion. org/) and Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (https://www. ocean decade. org/) are two of the key programmes designed to help deliver the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals by 2030, which include climate change mitigation and biodiversity protection. Furthermore, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) published their first-ever joint report (Portner et al., 2021) in recognition of climate change and biodiversity loss being inexorably intertwined (Pettorelli et al., 2021). The joint report is a call to action, making it clear that there is no time to lose in implementing strategies with a combined
