Answer:Biodiversity -- the essential variety of life forms on Earth -- continues to decline in every region of the world, significantly reducing nature's capacity to contribute to people's well-being. This alarming trend endangers economies, livelihoods, food security and the quality of life of people everywhere, according to four landmark science reports released today, written by more than 550 leading experts, from over 100 countries.
The result of three years of work, the four regional assessments of biodiversity and ecosystem services cover the Americas, Asia and the Pacific, Africa, as well as Europe and Central Asia -- the entire planet except the poles and the open oceans. The assessment reports were approved by the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES), in Medellín, Colombia, at the 6th session of its Plenary. IPBES has 129 State Members.
"Biodiversity and nature's contributions to people sound, to many people, academic and far removed from our daily lives," said the Chair of IPBES, Sir Robert Watson, "Nothing could be further from the truth -- they are the bedrock of our food, clean water and energy. They are at the heart not only of our survival, but of our cultures, identities and enjoyment of life. The best available evidence, gathered by the world's leading experts, points us now to a single conclusion: we must act to halt and reverse the unsustainable use of nature -- or risk not only the future we want, but even the lives we currently lead. Fortunately, the evidence also shows that we know how to protect and partially restore our vital natural assets."

Answer:
Factor analysis
Explanation:
Factor Analysis is the methodology used by psychologists for the assessment of the cluster of characteristic for a particular trait like ambition, etc.
Factor analysis is used for the reduction or grouping of a large number of variable factors into fewer number.
This methodology is used for the extraction of maximum common variance out of all the variable factors and group them into a common cluster which can be used as an index for all the variable factors for future analysis.
"Persuasive" speaking is the most complex and the most challenging.
A persuasive speech means when someone in front of an audience is
presenting his or her point of view with the goal to persuade them to accept
his/her ideas. His kind of discourse is pre-planned to target the audience to
comply with all what is said.
