The pressure on the planet’s natural environment has  soared in recent decades and its alarming impact is  raising unprecedented questions about the world’s  future health and prosperity. With six out of nine  planetary boundaries breached, we now face a high  risk of sudden or irreversible environmental changes  — induced by human activities. WWF’s Living Planet  Report 2022 states that we have lost 69 percent  of wildlife populations and an 83 percent decline of  freshwater species populations.
