To watchBiodiversity, climate, water, food and health are even more connected than they seem
Published: August 2026
What happened
A scientific synthesis linked to IPBES work has analyzed the interactions between biodiversity, water, food, health and climate.
Biodiversity emerges as a key element of many positive synergies, while climate change contributes to losses that can spread across multiple systems.
Why it matters
Addressing climate, biodiversity, food, water and health separately can make us lose sight of consequences and benefits that cut across several problems at once.
