This publication is one of four CABI briefings on climate change. The key messages in this briefing are:

• New climate pledges and policies need to prioritize biodiversity and the role of nature-based solutions in climate change mitigation and adaptation
• CABI has pioneered nature-based solutions for pest, weed, and disease management for nature-positive agriculture and ecosystem management
• Grassland restoration and ecosystem regeneration can be more effective than afforestation projects for greenhouse gas mitigation

The other briefings in this series are:

• Invasives species management: a policy tool for integrated climate adaptation
• Pest risk early warning systems in a changing climate
• Climate-smart pest management for nature-positive agriculture
