The Underlying causes of biodiversity loss and the determinants of transformative change and options for achieving the 2050 vision for biodiversity

The IPBES Global Assessment Report on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services focuses on transformative change that deliberately contributes to achieving the 2050 Vision for biodiversity and global sustainability. It builds on previous IPBES contributions that recognize the importance of transformative change in fully addressing biodiversity loss and nature decline.

The report defines transformative change as "a fundamental reorganization of the entire system through technological, economic, and social factors, including paradigms, goals, and values."

This assessment focuses on what transformative change means, how it happens, and how to promote and accelerate it for a just and sustainable world.
