气候变化和生物多样性丧失是相互交织的人类全球危机，森林为这些危机提供了强有力的基于自然的解决办法。生物多样性森林比单一作物更能适应气候变化，从而加强长期碳储存和基于生态系统的适应。人们对这些相互依存关系的认识正在缓慢增长，但我们对各国如何在气候政策中考虑生物多样性知之甚少。岛屿和低洼沿海国家特别容易受到气候变化和生物多样性丧失的影响。在这里，我们评估了小岛屿国家联盟（AOSIS）成员国是否以及如何通过基于森林的气候解决方案将生物多样性纳入其国家气候行动计划。我们的分析表明，这些解决方案错过了共同应对这两个危机的机会。在39个国家中，只有5个国家探索了基于森林的气候解决方案与生物多样性保护措施之间的共同利益和协同作用。另有9人分别提到它们。在这14个国家中，只提出了范围很窄的干预措施。虽然28个小岛屿国家联盟成员国将森林作为应对气候变化的优先事项，但只有三个国家将其独特的全球重要生物多样性作为优先事项。这一遗漏具有潜在的风险，因为减缓措施，如种植快速生长的非本地树木，可能对生物多样性产生负面影响。气候行动计划必须更加重视具体和可衡量的目标，通过保护原始森林和恢复森林等方式，与生物多样性保护产生协同作用。我们的研究结果强调，联合国气候变化会议等论坛需要继续推动将生物多样性更有力地纳入气候政策。
Climate change and biodiversity loss are deeply intertwined anthropogenic global crises, for which forests provide powerful nature-based solutions. Biodiverse forests are more resilient to climate change than monocultures, thereby enhancing long-term carbon storage and ecosystem-based adaptation. Awareness of these interdependencies is slowly growing, but we know little about how countries are considering biodiversity within climate policies. Island and low-lying coastal states are particularly vulnerable to climate change and biodiversity loss. Here we assessed if and how the members of the Alliance of Small Island States (AOSIS) are integrating biodiversity into their national climate action plans through forest-based climate solutions. Our analysis shows that these solutions are a missed opportunity for tackling the twin crises together. Only five of the 39 countries explore co-benefits and synergies between forest-based climate solutions and biodiversity conservation measures. An additional nine mention them separately. Among these 14 countries, only a narrow range of interventions were proposed. While 28 AOSIS members prioritised forests for combating climate change, mostly for mitigation, only three prioritised their unique and globally important biodiversity. This omission is potentially risky, since mitigation measures, such as planting rapidly growing non-native trees, can have negative outcomes for biodiversity. Climate action plans must place a greater emphasis on concrete and measurable targets that create synergies with biodiversity conservation, including through the protection of old-growth forests and forest restoration. Our results highlight that forums such as the United Nations Climate Change Conferences need to continue pushing for a stronger integration of biodiversity into climate policies.
