The graph from the IPBES Global Assessment Report on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services shows 3 different scenarios for how we could reduce biodiversity loss by 2050. Each scenario prevents the same amount of biodiversity loss.
a) Look at the Global Technology scenario. What is the biggest measure that would be taken in this scenario?
[1 mark]
b) Look at all three scenarios together. Which scenario would involve reducing infrastructure expansion the most?
[1 mark]
c) What measure would be taken in the Consumption Change scenario that would not be taken in the scenarios of Global Technology or Decentralised Solutions?
[1 mark]
d) Using a ruler, work out the percentage decrease of increasing agricultural productivity when comparing the scenario of Global Technology to Decentralised Solutions.
