IPBES 7: Wie die voranschreitende Katastrophe formulieren?

von Valentin Lang, Student des Studiengangs Global Change Ecology

Human actions threaten more species with global extinction now than ever before.” (S. 3)

Nature across most of the globe has now been significantly altered by multiple human drivers, with the great majority of indicators of ecosystems and biodiversity showing rapid decline.” (S. 3)

Climate change is a direct driver that is increasingly exacerbating the impact of other drivers on nature and human well-being.” (S. 4)

Dies sind ein paar der Kernaussagen eines kürzlich veröffentlichen UN-Berichts, der sogenannten „Summary for policymakers of the global assessment report on biodiversity and ecosystem services” der “Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services”, auch “IPBES” abgekürzt.
