How do the examples of the US bat population decline and the Senegal bilharzia project illustrate the contrast between siloed and integrated approaches to environmental challenges?

The report details how siloed approaches, such as solely planting trees to address climate change without considering biodiversity impacts, cause inefficiencies. Conversely, holistic approaches, like a Senegal project reducing bilharzia infections by improving water quality, demonstrate positive impacts across multiple sectors. This illustrates the economic costs of inaction, estimated at USD 10-25 trillion annually, stemming from unaccounted-for costs and harmful subsidies.
