A new article from Inside Ecology argues that carbon emissions and biodiversity are still treated as separate priorities in corporate sustainability, and that this siloed approach undermines both climate action and ecosystem resilience. The piece points to examples like monoculture afforestation for carbon credits that degrade local habitats, and notes that only 5% of Fortune Global 500 companies disclose biodiversity impacts despite heavy reliance on nature. The article outlines practical steps to break the silo: map nature dependencies, adopt integrated frameworks like TNFD and CSRD, build cross functional teams, and design interventions that deliver both emissions reductions and biodiversity gains. For anyone working in carbon markets or corporate sustainability, this is a useful reminder that nature positive and net zero need to be planned together, not traded off against each other.
