We discuss the outcomes of our 16th horizon scan of issues that are novel or represent a considerable step-change and have the potential to substantially affect conservation of biological diversity in the coming decade. From an initial 96 topics, our international panel of 32 scientists and practitioners prioritised 15 issues. Technological advances are prominent, including metal and non-metal organic frameworks, deriving rare earth elements from macroalgae, synthetic gene drives in plants, and low-emission cement.

From an initial list of 96 issues, our international panel of scientists and practitioners identified 15 that we consider important for societies worldwide to track and potentially respond to. Issues are novel within conservation or represent a substantial positive or negative step-change with global or regional extents.

From an initial set of 102 topics, our global panel of 30 scientists and practitioners identified 15 issues we consider most urgent for societies worldwide to address. Issues are novel within biological conservation or represent a substantial positive or negative step change at global or regional scales.

Although fisheries reforms and advances in offshore aquaculture (hereafter 'mariculture') could increase production, the true future of seafood depends on human responses to climate change. Here we investigated whether coordinated reforms in fisheries and mariculture could increase seafood production per capita under climate change.

- The 13th annual horizon scan identifies key issues likely to affect biodiversity conservation, focusing on novel threats and opportunities.
- A global panel of 26 experts pinpointed 15 priority issues for monitoring and action, such as satellite megaconstellations and long-distance wireless energy transfer.
- The scan emphasizes the urgency of addressing these issues, including a concerning application for deep-sea mining, to enhance research and policy responses.
