Biodiversity loss as driver
Biodiversity loss has many negative impacts, thus, protecting species and ecosystems and restoring nature must be a priority.
Drivers
Factors triggering the emergence of new risks can be very diverse. Among the most important drivers are globalisation, climate change, innovations or new consumer trends, but other economical, social or environmental factors may also play a role.
