“…Targets 15 and 16 address production and consumption factors driving biodiversity loss, respectively. Success in implementing all 3 targets is essential for a nature positive outcome [10,11], as reducing use to sustainable levels will be needed in concert with direct action targets [12] to "bend the curve" of biodiversity loss [13].…”

“…As a sign of progress, the newly launched SDGSAT-1 satellite mission will accurately collect data on various human activities and provide data for various SDG indicators to support applications in climate related hazards and natural disasters, among several others (Guo et al, 2022). In terms of fixing the biodiversity decline problem, Obura et al (2022) detailed six actions to achieving Earth system justice, including recommendations to "reduce and reverse direct and indirect drivers causing decline". The assessment of Earth system planetary boundaries to ensure a safe and just planet is now receiving attention and from a perspective that acknowledges human well-being as a function of Earth system stability and resilience.…”

“…To be successful, sufficient financing and comprehensive mechanisms for monitoring and accountability are required (Leadley et al, 2022; Mace et al, 2018). Up to 80% of the planet's remaining intact biodiversity is reportedly located in the territories of Indigenous peoples and local communities (Obura, 2023), while the main drivers of decline are associated with economic growth and consumption (Obura et al, 2023). Equity and justice are deeply intertwined in action on biodiversity loss.…”

Non-technical summary There is increasing evidence of extreme events and irreversible damage occurring faster than expected. Despite inescapable evidence of intersecting crises facing the Earth system and numerous efforts and agreements, global society is not on track to achieve its sustainability objectives. The 10 ‘Must Haves’ initiative aims to identify the pathways of accelerated systemic transformations needed across the globe toward a sustainable and just future where all can thrive on a healthy planet. In this Intelligence Briefing, the authors lay out the rationale for the project, the proposed targets, and set the stage for forthcoming work on action. Technical summary This Intelligence Briefing recognizes the urgent need for global-scale transformations to overcome the crises facing humanity. The ‘10 Must Haves Initiative’, conceptualized by The Earth League and the participants of the Global Futures Conference, aims to provide a framework for accelerated transformations to bridge the gap between pledges and action related to global challenges to stay within planetary boundaries and ensure a safe and just future for all. Each ‘Must Have’ represents targets within which a forthcoming report outlines the specific ‘must-do’ actions, relevant actors and considerations for successful implementation. The authors put forth that we must have a limit of global warming as close to 1.5°C as possible by 2050; an immediate halt and reversal of the loss of nature's functions and diversity; just economies that operate within planetary boundaries; equitable access to resources needed for human well-being; governance transformations to stay within planetary boundaries; healthy, safe, and secure food for the global population; the reconnection of human well-being to planetary health; an ethical digital world providing for human security and, a resilient global society ready to respond to planetary crises.
