The Sustainability Scenario

Caption

The Sustainability scenario aims to show how environmental conditions and human well-being can be improved through expansion of several leading conservation strategies, such as (a) transitioning from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources, and siting new renewable energy infrastructure on already converted lands; (b) protecting native habitat at levels that meet national commitments to the Convention on Biological Diversity; (c) shifting agricultural crops within growing regions to where they grow best; and (d) sustainably harvesting all fisheries.
