Feasibility Concern|Biodiversity

Why this criterion? This scenario reports a near-term decline of biodiversity intactness that is stronger than what has been reported historically.

This is a concern because this near-term trend is inconsistent with historically change rates.

The Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF) targets halting human-induced species extinction by 2030, which we interpret as halting reducing biodiversity intactness by 2030.

Why this threshold? Historical values for the change rate of biodiversity intactness are reported by (Pereira, 2024).

The threshold is set as the lowest historical change rate.
