Greenhouse gas emissions across the food supply chain Credits to Our World in Data. Follow Them for more sustainability insights. Original post: __________ The visualization shows GHG emissions from 29 food products — from beef at the top to nuts at the bottom. For each product, you can see from which stage in the supply chain its emissions originate. This extends from land use changes on the left to transport and packaging on the right. This is data from the largest meta-analysis of global food systems to date, published in Science by Joseph Poore and Thomas Nemecek (2018). In this study, the authors examined data from more than 38,000 commercial farms in 119 countries. In this comparison, we look at the total GHG emissions per kilogram of food products. CO2 is the most important GHG, but not the only one — agriculture is a large source of the greenhouse gases methane and nitrous oxide. To capture all GHG emissions from food production, researchers express them in kilograms of carbon dioxide equivalents. This metric takes into account not just CO2 but all greenhouse gases.

Poll: Environmental Risks Will Dominate in 10 Years Time 🌩️ Credits to Visual Capitalist. Follow Them for more sustainability insights. Original post: __________ What we’re showing The most severe risks over a 2- and 10-year timeframe. These results come from the World Economic Forum's Global Risks Perception Survey 2023-2024 (n=1,490) Key takeaway The most severe risks 10 years from today are expected to be climate-related. Meanwhile, economic and geopolitical risks are expected to decline. AI risks also on the rise An emerging risk over the 10-year timeframe is “adverse outcomes of AI technologies”, suggesting that survey respondents are skeptical of how AI will be governed in the future. __________ ♻️ Find this post useful?

44 of the 48 largest coastal cities are sinking faster than sea-level rise Credits to @Planet Anomaly. Follow Them for more sustainability insights. Original post: __________ As melting ice around the world causes an increase in sea levels, many coastal cities also face rapid land subsidence—where land sinks due to the removal of groundwater or compresses from the massive weight of cities above it. In a recent study published in Nature Sustainability, researchers used satellite-based radar to measure the degree of relative land subsidence for 48 of the largest coastal cities in the world. They found that nearly all of the cities studied are experiencing some degree of land subsidence and in 44 of them, some areas are sinking at a much faster rate than the sea is rising.

Fires Were Responsible for 42% of Global Forest Loss in 2023 Credits to Visual Capitalist. Follow Them for more sustainability insights. Original post: __________ This graphic shows the amount of forests lost each year, from 2001 to 2023. Data was sourced from the World Resources Institute. The dark part of the trees represents forest loss from non-fire related causes, and the bright portion is forest lost due to fire. 𝐊𝐞𝐲 𝐓𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐲 While forest fire damage varies each year, there has been a clear upward trend since 2001. For example, 2020, 2021, and 2023 were the fourth, third, and first worst years for forest fires globally. Another fact: the 11.9M hectares burned in 2023 is roughly equal to the size of Nicaragua. 𝐌𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐝𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐲 Researchers at the University of Maryland used Landsat satellite imagery to map the area of tree cover lost to stand-replacing forest fires (fires that kill all or most of the living overstory in a forest) annually from 2001 to 2023. __________ ♻️ Find this post useful?

Threatened With Extinction? Credits to Statista & Sékou Oumar SYLLA 🌍. Follow Them for more valuable insights. Original post: __________ Given that agricultural land is expanding at the expense of forests, marine stocks are being decimated by overfishing and coral reefs are getting clogged by plastic, it comes as no real surprise that plant and animal species are getting decimated. In 2019, the UN Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) found that human activity is having a devastating impact on the environment. “Nature makes human development possible but our relentless demand for the earth’s resources is accelerating extinction rates and devastating the world’s ecosystems," Joyce Msuya of the UN Environment Programme said at the time, and what was true then is even more true five years later. According to the latest update of the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, published this week, 46,337 of the 166,061 assessed species are now threatened with extinction, meaning they're categorized as either critically endangered, endangered or vulnerable. For the first time, the IUCN Red List also includes the majority of the world's trees, finding that at least 16,425 of the 47,282 assessed species are at risk of extinction. The report highlighted the critical importance of trees to many ecosystems, given their role in carbon, water and nutrient cycles, soil formation and climate regulation, meaning that the threat to trees puts many other species at risk as well. With more than 3 in 10 tree species under threat, trees are among the more endangered groups of species on the IUCN Red List. Our chart provides an overview of the proportion of threatened species within comprehensively assessed groups. The IUCN Red List only provides the proportion of extant species under threat for groups containing at least 150 species that have been comprehensively assessed, meaning that at least 80 percent of the group's species have been assessed. To date, more than 166,000 species have been assessed for the Red List. To further improve the IUCN Red List's ability to provide up-to-date information on the world's biodiversity, the official goal is to assess 260,000 species by 2030 and to reassess 142,000 of those species. Data sources : Threatened species are those listed as critically endangered, endangered and vulnerable. Shown are best estimates for comprehensively assessed groups (at least 80% of species in the group have been assessed). https://lnkd.in/g4PuHC4B https://lnkd.in/gi2R7iSA __________ ♻️ Find this post useful?

World Potential GDP Benefit Under Net Zero Carbon Emissions by 2050 Credits to International Monetary Fund. Follow Them for more valuable insights. Original post: __________ Ensuring a lower-carbon future is not only necessary but also good for the economy, according to the latest climate scenarios from the Network for Greening the Financial System, a group of 127 central banks and financial supervisors working to manage climate risks and boost green investment. The NGFS data come as world leaders gather in Dubai for the 28th United Nations Climate Change Conference, or COP28, to forge agreement on how to keep the planet from overheating. As the chart above shows, making an orderly transition to net zero by 2050 could result in global gross domestic product being 7 percent higher than under current policies.

Renewables Expected to See Strong Growth Over the Next 5 Years Credits to International Energy Agency (IEA). Follow Them for more sustainability insights. Original post: __________ Global annual renewable capacity additions increased by almost 50% to nearly 510 gigawatts (GW) in 2023, the fastest growth rate in the past two decades. This is the 22nd year in a row that renewable capacity additions set a new record. While the increases in renewable capacity in Europe, the United States and Brazil hit all-time highs, China’s acceleration was extraordinary. In 2023, China commissioned as much solar PV as the entire world did in 2022, while its wind additions also grew by 66% year-on-year. Globally, solar PV alone accounted for three-quarters of renewable capacity additions worldwide. Prior to the COP28 climate change conference in Dubai, the International Energy Agency (IEA) urged governments to support five pillars for action by 2030, among them the goal of tripling global renewable power capacity. Several of the IEA priorities were reflected in the Global Stocktake text agreed by the 198 governments at COP28, including the goals of tripling renewables and doubling the annual rate of energy efficiency improvements every year to 2030. Tripling global renewable capacity in the power sector from 2022 levels by 2030 would take it above 11 000 GW, in line with IEA’s Net Zero Emissions by 2050 (NZE) Scenario. Under existing policies and market conditions, global renewable capacity is forecast to reach 7 300 GW by 2028. This growth trajectory would see global capacity increase to 2.5 times its current level by 2030, falling short of the tripling goal. Governments can close the gap to reach over 11 000 GW by 2030 by overcoming current challenges and implementing existing policies more quickly. These challenges fall into four main categories and differ by country: 1) policy uncertainties and delayed policy responses to the new macroeconomic environment; 2) insufficient investment in grid infrastructure preventing faster expansion of renewables; 3) cumbersome administrative barriers and permitting procedures and social acceptance issues; 4) insufficient financing in emerging and developing economies. This report’s accelerated case shows that addressing those challenges can lead to almost 21% higher growth of renewables, pushing the world towards being on track to meet the global tripling pledge.

Thirty Years of Europe's Falling Emissions Credits to Visual Capitalist. Follow Them for more sustainability insights. Original post: __________ What We’re Showing : This chart tracks the change in net per capita greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions between 1990–2022. Figures are in carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) tonnes and sourced from Eurostat and Statista. Key Takeaways Most European countries have managed to reduce their per capita emissions since 1990. This is in stark contrast to many other countries in the world (China, India, Indonesia, Vietnam) whose per capita emissions have increased in the same time period. Doing the Emissions Math : This graphic tracks emissions generated inside the country. It does not account for how production and manufacturing has moved out of Europe, helping lower emissions. When looking at emissions data attributed to where goods are consumed rather than produced, European countries see less pronounced declines. Data sources : Includes equivalents in nitrogen dioxide, methane, hydrofluorocarbons, and others. *EU average from 27 member countries in 2020. **UK data only measures carbon dioxide emissions.

Visualizing 60+ Years of Per-Capita CO2 Emissions 😷 Credits to Visual Capitalist & World Resources Institute. Follow Them for more sustainability insights. Original post: __________ What we’re showing : This graphic visualizes per-capita CO2 emissions by region from 1960 to 2022, based on data from Climate Watch (accessed via the World Resources Institute). North America leads : North America (mostly driven by Canada and the U.S.) is the undisputed leader in terms of CO2 per capita. There has been a significant downtrend over the past two decades, though, thanks to technological advancements (e.g. clean energy), government policies, and the shift towards a more service-oriented economy. Another factor could be “carbon leakage”, which is when companies outsource their production (and resulting emissions) to a different region of the world. Data sources : https://lnkd.in/ernXS9UU
