Abstract
According to the World Health Organization, the link between climate change, biodiversity loss and pandemics is crystal clear. Emissions, pollution, land-use change, livestock overproduction and wildlife exploitation severely impact biodiversity. These environmental changes may be the key drivers of zoonotic disease outbreaks in humans, including the current coronavirus pandemic. Climate change exacerbates environmental threats and biodiversity degradations. Biodiversity loss and climate change are twin catastrophes. They should be simultaneously addressed through holistic strategies incorporating the whole gamut of policy reforms, regulations, fiscal measures and ecological strategies.
