Résumé :
|
In the last 10-15 years, since the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment, there has been a significant increase in our understanding of biodiversity and ecosystems, as well as their importance to the quality of life of every person. There is also greater understanding now about which policies, practices, technologies and behaviors can best lead to the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity and the achievement of many of the Sustainable Development Goals, the Aichi Biodiversity Targets and the Paris Agreement on Climate Change. However, biodiversity is still being lost, ecosystems are still being degraded and many of nature’s contributions to people are being compromised. The Assessment is critical today because evidence has accumulated that the multiple threats to biodiversity have intensified since previous reports, and that the sustainable use of nature will be vital for adapting to and mitigating dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system, as well as for achieving many of our most important developmentgoals.
