Achieving sustainable global food security is one of humanity's contemporary challenges. Here we present an analysis identifying key "global leverage points" that offer the best opportunities to improve both and environmental sustainability. We find a relatively small set places actions could provide enough new calories meet basic needs for more than 3 billion people, address many impacts with consequences, focus waste reduction on commodities greatest impact security. These points in system...
Worldwide demand for crops is increasing rapidly due to global population growth, increased biofuel production, and changing dietary preferences. Meeting these growing demands will be a substantial challenge that tax the capability of our food system prompt calls dramatically boost crop production. However, increase availability, we may also consider how world's are allocated different uses whether it possible feed more people with current levels Of particular interest as animal feedstocks....
Agricultural trade plays an important role in global food security and resource sustainability. Global commodities is worth more than US$520 billion per year, could feed approximately two people, uses about 13% of worldwide cropland pasture, has geographically concentrated irrigation water demands. However, researchers rarely compare these monetary, nutritional, metrics, which limits our ability to holistically evaluate the drivers implications trade. We found that each metric suggests...
The State of Climate Action 2022 provides a comprehensive assessment the global gap in climate action across world’s highest-emitting systems, highlighting where recent progress made reducing GHG emissions, scaling up carbon removal, and increasing finance must accelerate over next decade to keep Paris Agreement’s goal limit warming 1.5°C within reach.
This technical note accompanies the State of Climate Action series, part Systems Change Lab. It describes our methods for identifying systems that must transform, translating these systemwide transformations into global mitigation targets 2030 and 2050, selecting indicators with accompanying datasets us to use monitor annual change. also outlines approach assessing world’s collective progress made toward near-term categorizing recent efforts as on track, off well headed in wrong direction,...
