How Can Digital Transformation Support Biodiversity?

By 2030, the world will require ever more resources, including more water, food, and energy. These growing requirements will exacerbate biodiversity loss.  A key challenge will be reconciling human development with environmental stewardship. The only way to ensure a resilient future for our planet and communities is through the conservation, restoration, and sustainable use of biodiversity.

Watch to understand the intricate connection between biodiversity and our planet’s well-being:

Biodiversity is fundamental to sustaining life, supplying critical ecosystem services such as food provisioning, water purification, flood and drought control, nutrient cycling, and climate regulation. These services are essential to support human well-being and economic growth. Yet despite the significant economic, social and cultural values of biodiversity and ecosystem services, biodiversity worldwide is being lost, and in some areas at an accelerating rate.
