TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify three categories of challenges that have to be addressed to maintain and enhance human health in the face of increasingly harmful environmental trends: conceptual and empathy failures (imagination challenges), such as an overreliance on gross domestic product as a measure of human progress, the failure to account for future health and environmental harms over present day gains, and the disproportionate eff ect of those harms on the poor and those in developing nations.

TL;DR: Global health catastrophes have complex origins, often rooted in social disruption, poverty, conflict, and environmental collapse, and will require a new integrative analysis of the links between these factors to be avoided.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors consider two formulations of the Red List Index (RLI) used for reporting biodiversity trends at national scales: Disaggregated global RLI measures changing national contributions to global extinction risk and are currently based on five taxonomic groups, while national RLIs measure changing national extinction risk, and are assessed multiple times in country.
