We summarise the main findings of the Global Wetland Outlook (2018) about the status of wetlands, including their biota and ecosystem services, the drivers of change in wetlands, and the responses being adopted by the Ramsar Convention. The Outlook, which is the Ramsar Convention’s flagship publication, generally paints a bleak picture of wetland status. On the basis of these findings, we identify 10 key issues for decision makers to consider and recommend actions to implement so as to reverse the overall downward trends for wetlands. A switch from documenting the change in wetland biodiversity towards more emphasis on taking decisions is needed to implement effective responses and reverse the negative trends for wetlands. Although further data are needed, we contend that failure to place greater emphasis on effective responses could lead to the Convention becoming an irrelevant force for the wise use of wetlands.

The threats of the climate change crisis and sea level rise to U S. infrastructure, military readiness, food security and the economy are most evident in America floodplains, where the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) has worsened flooding and floodplain development by providing insurance policies that obscure risk and provide discounted coverage. Meanwhile, the United States contributes significantly to global greenhouse gas emissions, which fuels the climate change crisis and worsens flooding The disconnect between subsidizing development in floodplains and the fact that the United States has made those floodplains even more vulnerable to flooding by leasing federal fossil fuels that contribute to the climate change crisis and sea level rise has cost U S taxpayers billions of dollars and put millions of people and our nation most imperiled species at increased risk.
Flooding will only get more expensive and devastating especially if the United States continues in "business as usual" fossil fuel extraction and emissions, disproportionately putting vulnerable communities at risk Congress must immediately end federal fossil fuel leases and require that federal agencies that fund authorize, or permit fossil fuel activities analyze the indirect greenhouse gas emissions impacts of those activities. Congress must also require FEvL4 to use the best available climate change and sea level rise mapping to reflect actual flood risk provide a nationwide plan for flood disclosure and risk, analyze and avoid impacts to wildlife habitat, and pursue buyouts.
