Implications of global distributive justice principles for implementation of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework
In the era of the sixth mass extinction, reversing global biodiversity loss is of vital importance for life on Earth. In 2022, parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) adopted the…
Impact factors for quantifying country-level terrestrial biodiversity intactness footprints (IBIF)
There is an increasing demand for consistent methods and tools to quantify biodiversity footprints: the magnitude of biodiversity loss associated with all direct and indirect impacts associated with a…
A century of land consolidation in the Kingdom of the Netherlands: trends, drivers and lessons for future challenges
In the Netherlands and elsewhere an upsurge in the attention for rural land development can be observed. Land development is considered a key instrument in the toolbox to address the challenges rural…
Linking a biodiversity abundance metric to life cycle assessment for quantifying the biodiversity footprint of Dutch diets
The global food system is a major driver of biodiversity loss through land occupation, greenhouse gas emissions, nutrient emissions, pollution, and other environmental pressures. There is a need to…
A Global Assessment of Plant and Animal Community Responses to Forest Management Over Time
Transitions to forest management that mitigate negative effects of forest use on biodiversity are required to bend the curve of biodiversity loss. To facilitate such transitions, it is vital to…
Global inland-water oxygen cycle has changed in the Anthropocene
Inland waters are an important resource, a highly diverse habitat, and a key component of global biogeochemical cycles. Oxygen plays a major role in inland-water ecosystem functioning, but long-term…
Global relationships between crop yield and pollinator abundance
Pollinators are estimated to benefit the reproduction of three-quarters of global leading crop species and contribute to 3%–8% of the total global food production. Ongoing declines in pollinator…
Costs and benefits of synthetic nitrogen for global cereal production in 2015 and in 2050 under contrasting scenarios
Increased use of synthetic N fertiliser has boosted global cereal grain production, but has also led to a massive increase of reactive N loss and environmental impacts. This paper quantifies the…
Multimodel and Multiconstituent Scenario Construction for Future Water Quality
Freshwater pollution is, together with climate change, one of today’s most severe and pervasive threats to the global environment. Comprehensive and spatially explicit scenarios covering a wide range…
A purpose-oriented, multi-stakeholder and multi-evidence-based biodiversity global review: rationale, modalities & gaps
The Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF), which got adopted at COP15 of the Convention on Biological Diversity, sets ambitious targets and goals to improve biodiversity globally. Additionally, it was…
