Human-caused climate change is a direct driver that is exacerbating the effects of overfishing, widespread pesticide use and urban expansion. “We care about nature but we care about human well-being,” Watson said. “We need to link it to human well-being, that’s the crucial thing. Otherwise we’re going to look like a bunch of tree-huggers.”

They relied on input from 300 contributing authors who assessed the impact of economic development on nature to estimate future effects.
