  • Making Global Climate Action work for nature and people: Priorities for Race to Zero and Race to Resilience

    Open AccessIdil Boran, Nathalie Pettorelli et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Science & Policy2024References: 5

    There is increasing recognition in science and policy that the current nature and climate change crises are highly intertwined, and that these need to be jointly addressed. Within the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), the Race to Zero (R2Z) and the Race to Resilience (R2R) campaigns foster climate action by cities, regions, businesses, investors, and civil society organizations for mitigation and adaptation. The camp…

  • Quantifying Earth system interactions for sustainable food production via expert elicitation

    Open AccessAnna Chrysafi, Vili Virkki et al.ARTICLENature Sustainability2022Cited by: 1References: 9

    Several safe boundaries of critical Earth system processes have already been crossed due to human perturbations; not accounting for their interactions may further narrow the safe operating space for humanity. Using expert knowledge elicitation, we explored interactions among seven variables representing Earth system processes relevant to food production, identifying many interactions little explored in Earth system literature. We found that green…

  • Bending the curve of terrestrial biodiversity needs an integrated strategy

    Open AccessDavid Leclère, Michael Obersteiner et al.ARTICLENature2020

    Increased efforts are required to prevent further losses to terrestrial biodiversity and the ecosystem services that it provides1,2. Ambitious targets have been proposed, such as reversing the declining trends in biodiversity3; however, just feeding the growing human population will make this a challenge4. Here we use an ensemble of land-use and biodiversity models to assess whether—and how—humanity can reverse the declines in terrestrial biodive…

  • Combining mitigation strategies to increase co-benefits for biodiversity and food security

    Open AccessRémi Prudhomme, Adriana De Palma et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2020

    World agriculture needs to find the right balance to cope with the trilemma between feeding a growing population, reducing its impact on biodiversity and minimizing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. In this paper, we evaluate a broad range of scenarios that achieve 4.3 GtCO 2,eq /year GHG mitigation in the Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land-Use (AFOLU) sector by 2100. Scenarios include varying mixes of three GHG mitigation policies: second-genera…

  • Has land use pushed terrestrial biodiversity beyond the planetary boundary? A global assessment

    Open AccessTim Newbold, Lawrence N Hudson et al.ARTICLEScience2016

    Crossing “safe” limits for biodiversity loss The planetary boundaries framework attempts to set limits for biodiversity loss within which ecological function is relatively unaffected. Newbold et al. present a quantitative global analysis of the extent to which the proposed planetary boundary has been crossed (see the Perspective by Oliver). Using over 2 million records for nearly 40,000 terrestrial species, they modeled the response of biodiversi…
