This review corresponds to the IPBES transformative change assessment. The scoping report of the assessment describes that one of the aims is to identify and provide understanding of factors at various in human society that can be leveraged to bring about transformative change, being one of the impacts of the patterns of production, supply and consumption on nature, nature’s contributions to people (NCP) and good quality of life. As part of the chapter’s mandate to prepare a synthesis and assessment of sets of policies, tools, methods, campaigns, frameworks, finance instruments, options and actions enabling and encouraging transformative change at all scales for a sustainable world, section 5.4.3 assessed first the global volume of public subsidies to sectors that drive biodiversity loss and nature decline, and then whether subsidies are presented as “positive”, “neutral”, or “negative” in the literature.
