Until very recently, the climate and nature crises were treated as distinct issues, addressed by specialised independent bodies and siloed departments within governments and non-governmental organisations. Gradually, as these crises intensify and their interconnectedness becomes more and more apparent, this mindset is shifting and a new, more joined-up approach is being explored, trialled and pushed by certain policymakers.

At its 2024 Annual Meeting, the World Economic Forum Centre for Nature and Climate called for a ‘systemic response’ to the climate and nature crises. Next week, the UK Parliament will debate the need for a Climate and Nature Bill, which would integrate these once separate agendas. Issues around climate and nature will come together both physically and conceptually once again at  COP30 in the Brazilian Amazon in November.
