The Global Biodiversity Outlook 5, published by the UN Convention on Biological Diversity, offers an authoritative overview of the state of nature. The report calls for a shift away from 'business as usual' across a range of human activities, including agriculture and forestry.
The publication outlines eight transitions that recognise the value of biodiversity, the need to restore the ecosystems on which all human activity depends, and the urgency of reducing the negative impacts of such activity.
This Outlook examines the promise, progress and prospects for interdependent transitions on the following issues: land and forests, freshwater, fisheries and oceans, sustainable agriculture, food systems, cities and infrastructure, climate action, and health.
