The United Nations University Bonn said nearly one million species are currently at risk of extinction and natural ecosystems are crumbling.
The latest science says these issues are deeply interconnected and warns that tackling them in isolation is ineffective and often counterproductive.
The Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) has released a new landmark report called "Nexus report," a product of three years of work by 165 leading international experts from 57 countries from all regions of the world.
The report categorically says existing actions to address these challenges fail to tackle the complexity of interlinked problems and result in inconsistent governance.
"These issues are not standalone; they cascade and compound each other," said Professor Paula Harrison, co-chair of the report. "Without integrated action, we risk making matters worse."
