About the course
A self-paced interactive course on biodiversity and human well-being consists of 6 modules that enable learners to understand the concept of natural capital, inclusive wealth, ecosystem services and its connection with human well-being.
According to the 2020 Living Planet Report, published by the Worldwide Fund for Nature (WWF), the world has lost 68% of monitored populations of mammals, birds, amphibians, reptiles and fish in the last 50 years.
Up to one-fifth of wild species are at risk of extinction this century due to climate change alone, even with significant mitigation efforts, with some of the highest rates of loss anticipated in biodiversity ‘hotspots’.
If we pollute the air, water and soil that keep us alive and well, and destroy the biodiversity that allows natural systems to function, no amount of money will save us.
