Chronic

Acute

Increasing scarcity of key natural resources

Degradation of nature and loss of natural protection (e.g. due to clearing of vegetation for mining development) can exacerbate the severity of damage caused by extreme weather events such as hurricanes, droughts, floods and storms

Ecosystem degradation due to actions such as deforestation

Acidification of the oceans

Diseases or pests affecting the species or variety of crop on which the organization relies, particularly where there is a lack of or low genetic diversity

overfishing

Floods, avalanches, drought, heat waves, storms, tornadoes, etc.

Loss of land due to Desertification and Soil degradation and the associated loss of soil fertility

Species loss and degradation due to Soil, water and marine pollution caused by the organization itself or by stakeholders in certain areas
