    Abstract Eines scheint sicher: Die wachsende Weltbevölkerung wird sich wohl ernähren können, wenn weiterhin die Erträge gesteigert werden und gleichzeitig Armut reduziert wird. Allerdings ist die Produktion von Nahrungsmitteln derzeit entkoppelt von einer nachhaltigen Land- und Meeresnutzung. Sie verschlechtert andere Leistungen, die Ökosysteme erbringen und trägt erheblich zum Verlust von Biodiversität bei. Der Klimawandel wird in Zukunft ein weiterer Aspekt sein, der berücksichtigt werden muss. Insbesondere die monokulturelle Aufforstung und der zusätzliche, großskalige Anbau von Bioenergiepflanzen sind laut des Berichtes des Weltbiodiversitätsrates kritisch zu sehen. ■ Die großflächige Umnutzung von Flächen für Aufforstung bzw. Bioenergie steht in direkter Konkurrenz zur Produktion von Nahrungsmitteln. Eine Vielzahl von Studien weist auf potentiell stark negative Nebeneffekte hin. ■ Insbesondere die großflächige Aufforstung zum Anbau von Bioenergiepflanzen (z.B. Mais, Zuckerrohr oder Elefantengras) oder aber die Schaffung von großen Waldmonokulturen ist problematisch. ■ Nachhaltig sind Szenarien, die von einem reduzierten Fleischkonsum in den Industrienationen und stark verminderten Emissionen von Treibhausgasen ausgehen. Sie zeigen, dass der Verlust an Biodiversität dann stark eingedämmt werden könnte.

    Abstract Current large-scale patterns of land use reflect history, local traditions, and production costs, much more so than they reflect biophysical potential or global supply and demand for food and freshwater, or-more recently-climate change mitigation. We quantified alternative land-use allocations that consider trade-offs for these demands by combining a dynamic vegetation model and an optimization algorithm to determine Pareto-optimal land-use allocations under changing climate conditions in 2090-2099 and alternatively in 2033-2042. These form the outer bounds of the option space for global land-use transformation. Results show a potential to increase all three indicators (+83% in crop production, +8% in available runoff, and +3% in carbon storage globally) compared to the current land-use configuration, with clear land-use priority areas: Tropical and boreal forests were preserved, crops were produced in temperate regions, and pastures were preferentially allocated in semiarid grasslands and savannas. Transformations toward optimal land-use patterns would imply extensive reconfigurations and changes in land management, but the required annual land-use changes were nevertheless of similar magnitude as those suggested by established land-use change scenarios. The optimization results clearly show that large benefits could be achieved when land use is reconsidered under a "global supply" perspective with a regional focus that differs across the world's regions in order to achieve the supply of key ecosystem services under the emerging global pressures.

    Abstract Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftler aus verschiedenen Disziplinen der Biodiversität, Ökologie, Ökonomie, Anthropologie und integrierten Landsystem-Forschung haben sich mit Fragen der globalen Krise der biologischen Vielfalt befasst. In dem daraus resultierenden Diskussionspapier „Globale Biodiversität in der Krise - Was können Deutschland und die EU dagegen tun?“ und in dem dazugehörenden Dokumentationsband zeigen die Autorinnen und Autoren auf, wie Deutschland und Europa reagieren sollten, um das gemeinsame Ziel zu erreichen, den Verlust an Biodiversität zu stoppen. Die Vielfalt von Pflanzen und Tieren ist eine unserer wichtigsten Lebensgrundlagen. Teil der Evolution war und ist immer auch das Aussterben und die Neuentstehung von Arten. In den letzten Jahrzehnten ist jedoch ein in der Geschichte der Erde bisher nie erreichtes Massenaussterben von Pflanzen- und Tierarten zu beobachten.^

    Der Einfluss des Menschen auf alle Bereiche unserer Umwelt hat so nicht nur zu Klimawandel geführt, sondern auch dazu, dass ein großer Teil der biologischen Vielfalt unwiederbringlich verloren gegangen ist. Was dies für das langfristige Überleben der Menschheit bedeutet, ist aktuell kaum abschätzbar. Wichtig ist jedoch, dass sowohl der Schutz des Klimas als auch der Schutz der Biodiversität untrennbar miteinander verbundene Herausforderungen für die Menschheit sind. Die Weltgemeinschaft hat bereits bei der Konvention von Rio 1992 die Dringlichkeit anerkannt, die dem Biodiversitätsschutz zukommt. In den letzten fast 30 Jahren verpflichteten sich die Vertragsstaaten zu verschiedenen Zielen, die dem Schutz der Biodiversität dienen sollen und den Verlust der Vielfalt möglichst stoppen sollten. Vieles wurde erreicht, aber der Verlust der Vielfalt geht kaum gebremst weiter. Publikationen in der Reihe „Leopoldina Diskussion“ sind Beiträge der genannten Autorinnen und Autoren.^

    Mit den Diskussionspapieren bietet die Akademie Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftlern die Möglichkeit, flexibel und ohne einen formellen Arbeitsgruppen-Prozess Denkanstöße zu geben oder Diskurse anzuregen und hierfür auch Empfehlungen zu formulieren.

    Abstract Higher food prices arising from restrictions on exports from Russia or Ukraine have been exacerbated by energy price rises, leading to higher costs for agricultural inputs such as fertilizer. Here, using a scenario modelling approach, we quantify the potential outcomes of increasing agricultural input costs and the curtailment of exports from Russia and Ukraine on human health and the environment. We show that, combined, agricultural inputs costs and food export restrictions could increase food costs by 60-100% in 2023 from 2021 levels, potentially leading to undernourishment of 61-107 million people in 2023 and annual additional deaths of 416,000 to 1.01 million people if the associated dietary patterns are maintained. Furthermore, reduced land use intensification arising from higher input costs would lead to agricultural land expansion and associated carbon and biodiversity loss. The impact of agricultural input costs on food prices is larger than that from curtailment of Russian and Ukrainian exports. Restoring food trade from Ukraine and Russia alone is therefore insufficient to avoid food insecurity problem from higher energy and fertilizer prices. We contend that the immediacy of the food export problems associated with the war diverted attention away from the principal causes of current global food insecurity.

    Abstract The spatial extent of marine and terrestrial protected areas (PAs) was among the most intensely debated issues prior to the decision about the post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF) of the Convention on Biological Diversity. Positive impacts of PAs on habitats, species diversity and abundance are well documented. Yet, biodiversity loss continues unabated despite efforts to protect 17% of land and 10% of the oceans by 2020. This casts doubt on whether extending PAs to 30%, the agreed target in the Kunming-Montreal GBF, will indeed achieve meaningful biodiversity benefits. Critically, the focus on area coverage obscures the importance of PA effectiveness and overlooks concerns about the impact of PAs on other sustainability objectives. We propose a simple means of assessing and visualising the complex relationships between PA area coverage and effectiveness and their effects on biodiversity conservation, nature-based climate mitigation and food production. Our analysis illustrates how achieving a 30% PA global target could be beneficial for biodiversity and climate. It also highlights important caveats: (i) achieving lofty area coverage objectives alone will be of little benefit without concomitant improvements in effectiveness, (ii) trade-offs with food production particularly for high levels of coverage and effectiveness are likely and (iii) important differences in terrestrial and marine systems need to be recognized when setting and implementing PA targets. The CBD's call for a significant increase in PA will need to be accompanied by clear PA effectiveness goals to reduce and revert dangerous anthropogenic impacts on socio-ecological systems and biodiversity.

    Abstract The European Union's Biodiversity Strategy for 2030 seeks to protect 30% of land, with 10% under strict protection, while building a transnational nature network. We explore the effects of the Biodiversity Strategy targets for land use and ecosystem services across the European land system. To do so, we propose a novel approach, combining a methodological framework for improving green network connectivity with an EU-wide land system model. We identify an improved network of EU protected areas consistent with the 2030 targets, and explore its effects under different levels of protection and in a range of paired climatic and socio-economic scenarios. The existing network of protected areas is highly fragmented, with more than one third of its nodes being isolated. We find that prioritizing connectivity when implementing new protected areas could achieve the strategy's targets without compromising the future provision of ecosystem services, including food production, in Europe. However, we also find that EU-wide distributions of land uses and ecosystem services are influenced by the protected area network, and that this influence manifests differently in different climatic and socio-economic scenarios. Varying the strength of protection of the network had limited effects. Extractive services (food and timber production) decreased in protected areas, but non-extractive services increased, with compensatory changes occurring outside the network. Changes were small where competition for land was low and scenario conditions were benign, but became far larger and more extensive where competition was high and scenario conditions were challenging. Our findings highlight the apparent achievability of the EU's protected area targets, but also the need to account for adaptation in the wider land system and its consequences for spatial and temporal patterns of ecosystem services provision now and in the future.
