»Wirtschaft und Politik berücksichtigen die Relevanz von Biodiversität nicht ausreichend«
IPBES-Bericht, 11.7.2022 (engl. Originalfassung)
Unprecedented decline of biodiversity and climate change are affecting ecosystem functioning and negatively impacting people’s quality of life. An important driver of global decline of biodiversity is the unsustainable use of nature including persistent inequalities between and within countries, emanating from predominant political and economic decisions based on a narrow set of values (e.g., prioritizing nature’s values as traded in markets). Simultaneously, access to and distribution of the benefits from nature’s many contributions to people are highly inequitable.
