Global biodiversity loss, ecosystem collapse and national security

Summary

This UK national security assessment highlights that global biodiversity loss and ecosystem collapse pose significant threats to the UK's national security and prosperity, leading to risks like crop failures, natural disasters, and geopolitical instability. The UK is addressing this challenge by being a party to the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, which aims to halt and reverse biodiversity loss by 2030 through global targets like protecting and restoring 30% of land and ocean. The degradation is ongoing globally, with critical ecosystems increasingly at risk of irreversible collapse.
