Interlinkages among biodiversity, water, food and health (IPBES nexus assessment)
Ecological, social and economic crises - such as biodiversity loss, water and food insecurity, health risks and climate change - are all interlinked. They interact, cascade and reinforce each other… in ways that make separate efforts to address them ineffective and counterproductive.
This IPBES report provides decision-makers around the world with a scientific assessment of these complex relationships and examines 70 specific options for action to maximize co-benefits across the five “nexus elements”: Biodiversity, Water, Food, Health and Climate Change.
