We can limit #pollution and #climatechange thanks to #renewables. Data say that 90% of #energy #CO2 reduction needed to curb #globalwarming can be achieved thanks to #RES & #energyefficiency. More on #RES: cesi.it/news_ideas/ideas/Pag…

What is the main direct drivers of all your suggested 5 drivers of change in nature with the largest global impacts. I would suggest it is the growth in the human population. Within the last 100 years we humans have gone from 2 billion to 7.6 billion

..& what powers those five drivers? Ask that question & risk being called a blasphemer against the God of GDP Growth & Orthodox Economics Church. Their Inquisition goons will be out in force on @BBCNews @Channel4News & in MSM papers spouting more BS.

Where's livestock farming, cattle-feed plantations, car exhaust and coal power plants?

Is there a link to whole report to get whole context which I assume also includes tough choice trade-offs and potential solutions? #ConservationOptimism

The root cause of these drivers is human greed, mainly as practiced by the richest persons through their business and political interests. #IPBES7
