La biodiversité dans le monde a diminué de 28 % en moyenne depuis 1970. Le monde devrait être 50 % plus vaste pour abriter suffisamment de terres et de forêts pour répondre à la demande actuelle en consommation et limiter les émissions de carbone. C’est ce qu'a déclaré l'ONG environnementale WWF aujourd'hui (15 mai).
Unless the world addresses the problem, by 2030 even two planet Earths would not be enough to sustain human activity, WWF said, launching its "Living Planet Report 2012", a biennial audit of the world's environment and biodiversity - the number of plant and animal species. Yet governments are not on track to reach an agreement at next month's sustainable development summit in Rio de Janeiro, said Jim Leape, WWF International's director general said. "I don't think anyone would dispute that we're nowhere near where we should be a month before the conference in terms of the progress of the negotiations and other preparations," Leape told reporters in Geneva.
"I think all of us are concerned that countries negotiating in the UN system for an outcome for Rio have not yet shown a willingness to really step up to meet these challenges. Those negotiations are clearly still tangled."
