PROBLEM STATEMENT
By 2050, there will be around 9.7 billion people in the world, about 1.7 billion more than today (Nov 2022).
This means there will be a huge gap of 70% between the actual food available and the demand for food to feed everyone.
Freshwater Aquatic Animal Down 84%
Animals living in the world’s lakes, rivers, and freshwater systems have experienced the most dramatic population declines, at 84 percent, because of human activity.
Cereal Crop Yields To Decrease 10% - 15% With 1ºC to 2ºC Warming
On average, in cereal-cropping systems, adaptations such as changing varieties and planting times enable avoidance of a 10% to 15% reduction in yield, corresponding to 1°C to 2°C local temperature increases.
By 2050, demand for food will increase by 70%
By 2050 it is predicted that demand for food could increase by 70%.
Every 1C Rise = 20X More Global Conflicts
Every one-degree rise in temperature means a 20-fold increase in global conflicts.
30% of Forests Gone, Only 15% Left Intact
30 percent of global forest cover has been cleared, while another 20 percent has been degraded. Most of the rest has been fragmented, leaving only about 15 percent intact.
Planetary Thresholds Approaching
Our analysis suggests that the Earth System may be approaching a planetary threshold that could lock in a continuing rapid pathway toward much hotter conditions– Hothouse Earth. This pathway would be propelled by strong, intrinsic, bio-geophysical feedbacks difficult to influence by human actions, a pathway that could not be reversed, steered, or substantially slowed.
By 2030, half the world will face water shortages
By 2030, half the world's population will be living in areas of high water stress.
We Will Run Short Of Food On Current Diet Trends
There will not be enough water available on current croplands to produce food for the expected 9 billion population in 2050 if we follow current trends and changes towards diets common in western nations.
Sixth Mass Extinction of Wildlife Accelerating
We are facing our final opportunity to ensure that the many services nature provides us do not get irretrievably sabotaged
