Thermodynamic nexus between UNCBD and UNFCCC: Bounded openness over natural information and the Yasuní-ITT initiative

Consilience of biodiversity and climate change is achievable through reduction to non-equilibrium thermodynamics. Subsequent construction supports a policy to decrease carbon emissions and species loss in capital-poor countries that are mega-diverse and carbon-rich. Incentives for conservation underpinned The Yasuní-ITT Initiative, whereby Ecuador sought payment not to drill for oil. The same logic holds for not opening highways in the Amazon. Consilience marries Living within Limits by Garrett Hardin with Half-Earth by E.O. Wilson. Artificial Intelligence facilitates persuasion of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity.
