Umweltbundesamt 2025: Impacts of the Triple Planetary Crisis on Human and Ecosystem Health. Infographic.
This solution-oriented infographic showcases nature-based solutions (NbS) as systemic responses to the triple planetary crisis, illustrating how measures such as wetland restoration, mangrove protection or urban green infrastructure can simultaneously address climate change, biodiversity loss and pollution, while delivering co-benefits for health, resilience and livelihoods. It is based on the report “Moving from Interconnected Crises to Systemic Solutions. Resource Efficiency, Nature-based Solutions, and Systemic Transformation as Responses to the Complexity of the Triple Planetary Crisis” and highlights concrete pathways for action. The infographic is also included in the accompanying fact sheet under the same title.
Together with the infographic “Current Model of Material Use & Key Policy Actions to Address Structural Barriers”, the two visuals provide a clear overview of the triple planetary crisis, tracing it from underlying drivers and impacts to systemic solution pathways. They are designed to make complex relationships easier to understand and to support informed decision-making in policy, research and practice.
