| Abstract | Climate change, pollution, and biodiversity loss constitute the Triple Planetary Crisis,
eroding the ecological foundations of economies, public health, and
human wellbeing. Yet among these threats, biodiversity remains the least
understood and least integrated into policy and decision-making.
Monitoring efforts are fragmented and often fail to capture how multiple
pressures—chemical pollution, invasive species, habitat degradation,
eutrophication, and climate extremes—interact to drive non-linear
ecosystem decline. This gap leaves societies poorly equipped to
anticipate and mitigate ecological risks. We
outline an interdisciplinary framework that combines deep-time
ecological and environmental records with emerging forecasting tools to
reconstruct long-term baselines and predict complex biodiversity
responses to interacting stressors. We further identify pathways to
embed these diagnostics into economic and governance systems, linking
biodiversity directly to risk assessment, investment decisions, and
regulatory frameworks. Together, these advances point toward a
decision-support platform that enables governments, businesses, and
communities to anticipate risks, evaluate interventions, and design
strategies that align biodiversity protection with resilience in
economies and societies. |
