ABSTRACT

Transitioning from fossil fuels to renewable energy is fundamental for halting
anthropogenic climate change. However, renewable energy facilities can be
land-use intensive and impact conservation areas, and little attention has been
given to whether the aggregated effect of energy transitions poses a substantial
threat to global biodiversity. Here, we assess the extent of current and likely
future renewable energy infrastructure associated with onshore wind, hydropower
and solar photovoltaic generation, within three important conservation areas:
protected areas (PAs), Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) and Earth's remaining
wilderness. We identified 2,206 fully operational renewable energy facilities
within the boundaries of these conservation areas, with another 922 facilities
under development. Combined, these facilities span and are degrading 886 PAs,
749 KBAs and 40 distinct wilderness areas. Two trends are particularly
concerning. First, while the majority of historical overlap occurs in Western
Europe, the renewable electricity facilities under development increasingly
overlap with conservation areas in Southeast Asia, a globally important region
for biodiversity. Second, this next wave of renewable energy infrastructure
represents a ~30% increase in the number of PAs and KBAs impacted and could
increase the number of compromised wilderness areas by ~60%. If the world
continues to rapidly transition towards renewable energy these areas will face
increasing pressure to allow infrastructure expansion. Coordinated planning of
renewable energy expansion and biodiversity conservation is essential to avoid
conflicts that compromise their respective objectives.




OPEN RESEARCH


DATA AVAILABILITY STATEMENT

Raw data on important conservation areas is publicly available in the respective
sites of each organization (Allan, Venter, et al., 2017; BirdLife International,
2018; IUCN & UNEP-WCMC, 2018). Data for renewable energy facilities can be
purchased from GlobalData (2018).
