But in that same interval, earth lost 100 million hectares of tropical forests, and 90% of its wetlands, according to a United Nations global assessment. Nearly a tenth of the planet’s plants and animals face great danger. Next year, Kunming will host the 15th Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity. Can the international community agree on a plan for preserving global biodiversity? And what should that plan include?

THE FUTURE OF ENERGY Global energy is undergoing an epic transformation. In much of the world, economic forces are prompting a move from coal to natural gas and renewable energy. Electric cars, though still a tiny slice of the auto market, are starting to give internal combustion-powered autos a run for their money. A shift from centralized to decentralized energy sources is gathering steam. All these changes are creating new winners and losers–among countries, industries, companies, and investors. And yet, for all this change, global greenhouse gas emissions continue to rise. What the global energy shift is and isn’t doing–and why.
