Climate biodiversity at COP15 in Canada: Why does it matter?

Protecting climate and biodiversity is not limited to animal species. Ensuring the well-being of the Earth means ensuring the health and well-being of all who live on it, including humans. Since humanity’s existence is based on clean air, food, and a livable climate, all elements are controlled by the natural world. Not only that, there is also a need for change from an economic point of view. In fact, a large part of the GDP produced worldwide depends on the health of ecosystems: we are talking about almost 42 billion dollars.
