The ecosystems, biomes and processes that regulate the
stability and resilience of the Earth system are under severe
pressure. So, it is timely to reflect on how our understanding
of tackling environmental problems has shifted, and what
factors make for successful outcomes.
Standard risk management approaches will not be
sufficient to address the complex societal, environmental and
economic systems and their interactions that characterize
nations across the world today. Reducing the loss of
biodiversity simply by establishing protected areas will not
succeed, when much biodiversity is found in areas under
production, both in agriculture and in the seas. Furthermore,
as the climate changes, habitat fragmentation restricts
species to smaller spaces, reduces genetic variability and
stresses ecosystems. Protected areas are important — but
are only part of the answer. Innovative ways are needed to
integrate development and biodiversity protection. There is
a risk of inadvertently making things worse, for example, by
expanding agriculture in ways that deplete soils, waste water
and increase desertification and deforestation.
STAP1 analysed 32 climate change mitigation and
chemicals and waste management projects worldwide. One
such project was based on the “circular economy concept”,
which aims to change the linear economic model based on
‘take, make, use, and dispose,’ to a more sustainable model
that is restorative and regenerative by design. The concept
ensures that the value of products, materials, and resources
is maintained in the economy at their highest value and
usefulness for as long as possible while minimizing waste.
A circular approach will also yield socio-economic gains.
Transitioning to the circular economy in five European
countries by 2030, apart from reducing carbon emissions by
two-thirds, would also lower business costs and increase the
workforce by about 4%, creating more than 1.2 million jobs,
including benefits across focal areas — and are ultimately
more transformational.
