The solution to overcome global warming; perspective from biology, escpecially biodiversity in the entire of the world

November 25, 2023

Recently, it is a fact that we face global warming and it has become a central issue and began to be discussed in the world. Global warming is the phenomenon of increasing the average temperature on the earth’s surface and it is a dangerous phenomenon. We are starting to feel the consequences of global warming now, from extreme seasonal changes to weather anomalies. In the past, environmental issues were marginalized or submerged among other major issues such as social, political and economic, now environmental issues have become crucial and often discussed and require real attention and action at every level, from local communities to international level. This is because real evidence of environmental damage has been seen and the impact has been felt by all living creatures, not just humans. If this case still occurs, it will lead to destroying our life.

Biological diversity — or biodiversity — is the variety of life on Earth, in all its forms, from genes and bacteria to entire ecosystems such as forests or coral reefs. The biodiversity we see today is the result of 4.5 billion years of evolution, increasingly influenced by humans. Biodiversity in the world can be a solution to overcome the problem of global warming.

When human activities produce greenhouse gases, around half of the emissions remain in the atmosphere, while the other half is absorbed by the land and ocean. These ecosystems – and the biodiversity they contain – are natural carbon sinks, providing so-called nature-based solutions to global warming. Protecting, managing, and restoring forests, for example, offers roughly two-thirds of the total mitigation potential of all nature-based solutions. These are just a few examples are given by biodiversity to overcome global warming, so what other solutions to address global warming? This International Conference on Biodiversity is presented by Society for Indonesian Biodiversity will invite experts and researchers together with students and other societies from various background studies to discuss it.
