The richness of nature and biodiversity has declined by 73% over the past 50 years. Efforts made by 2030 will be crucial.
The report reveals a stark reality: the Living Planet Index (LPI) has decreased by 73% from 1970 to 2020. WWF indicates that the interconnected crises of nature loss and climate change are pushing the planet towards a dangerous tipping point.
The report underscores the crucial role of governments and the private sector over the next five years, emphasizing the need for transformations in natural resource conservation, food systems, energy systems, and financial systems.
In Japan, WWF Japan has released a Japanese summary of this report, reaffirming the importance of domestic efforts. Leadership from the Japanese government is anticipated in the upcoming international conferences.
