UN Environment Programme's "Navigating New Horizons" report warns of a "polycrisis" involving climate change, biodiversity loss, pollution, resource scarcity, displacement, and conflict.

The UN Environment Programme's new report, "Navigating New Horizons," warns of a "polycrisis" where challenges such as climate change, biodiversity loss, pollution, resource scarcity, forced displacement, and increased conflict intersect and accelerate. Key challenges include climate change exacerbating water scarcity, rising armed conflict involving non-state actors, mass forced displacement driven by factors like conflict and climate change, and the digital transformation's impact. The report emphasizes the need for local action and explores potential positive responses to these global issues.
