Description of Impact(s) (English Only) A major study authored by 21 global biodiversity and climate scientist draws on IPBES findings to analyze the effects of land conservation and climate action on extinction rates in the tropics. The findings of the study show that “limiting climate change to 2°C and conserving 30% of terrestrial area could more than halve aggregate extinction risk compared with uncontrolled climate change and no increase in conserved area.” The findings were revealed at the first Davos Global Biodiversity Forum.
