Interlinkages among biodiversity, water, food and health (IPBES nexus assessment)
Ecological, social and economic crises - such as biodiversity loss, water and food insecurity, health risks and climate change - are all interlinked. They interact, cascade and reinforce each other in ways that make separate efforts to address them ineffective and counterproductive. This IPBES report provides decision-makers around the world with a scientific assessment of these complex relationships and examines 70 specific options for action to maximize co-benefits across the five “nexus elements”: Biodiversity, Water, Food, Health and Climate Change.

Der Hochwasserschutz hat sich seit dem 19. Jh. markant gewandelt. Die Hochwasser von 1868, 1987 und 2005 spielten dabei eine entscheidende Rolle. Analysewerkzeuge des Mobiliar Labs für Naturrisken erlauben es, den Wandel zu verfolgen, die Defizite zu identifizieren und die eingeleiteten Neuausrichtungen zu beurteilen.
