P
Future expected annual damage due to flooding depends on future climate change, but much even more on future GDP and population distribution. +
Improved forest management can contribute to reducing biodiversity loss (measured in MSA, see Component Terrestrial biodiversity ). +
Compared to the baseline, the sustainability scenarios ‘Global Technology’ and ‘Challenge +’ (PBL, 2012) will reduce child mortality, but the MDG target set for 2015 would still only be met after 2030. +
Results of several interventions in declining biodiversity loss (PBL, 2010) +
Biodiversity is projected to decline further in the baseline scenario (left). Various measures in the demand system, the production system and in land-use regulation contribute to reducing biodiversity loss in the sustainability scenarios (right). +
Changes in agricultural production and land use +
As a result of soil degradation and changes in soil properties, yields are up to 30 % lower than they would have been under pristine conditions, in some parts of the world. +
Impact of land-use change, protection and restoration policies on ecosystem functions (van Esch et al., 2021) +
Future trends in grassland areas strongly depend on grassland management and productivity (PBL, 2012). +
Several policy interventions can lead to a reduction in the global soil nitrogen budget compared to a baseline scenario (Bouwman et al., 2013c). +
Several policy interventions in land-use regulation, production and demand systems could prevent some of the biodiversity loss projected in the baseline. The single largest effects can be expected from closing the yield gap, and from dietary changes. +
Three of the five water basins on the Indian subcontinent strongly rely on groundwater resources to meet irrigation water demand. Doubling the capacity of large dams can increase the amount of irrigation water available in some basins. In all basins, improved irrigation efficiency leads to a significant reduction in water required for irrigation. +
Impact of prioritizing environmental flows for the SSP2 scenario on (a) the percentage of river length per basin that meets the EFR targets, (b) food production expressed as a change in yield due to lower water availability and (c) the change in nr of people at severe risk of water shortage for electricity, industries and households (living in areas where the projected consumption is less than 50% of projected demand). The results are the yearly averages for 2045–2054. (de Vos et al., 2021) +
