UN's Resource Extraction Forecast

A forthcoming UN report predicts a 60% increase in global raw material extraction by 2060, attributed to industrial growth and population expansion. This rise is linked to significant environmental impacts, including 60% of global warming effects and over 90% of water stress and biodiversity loss.

Janez Potočnik, co-chair of the UN panel, highlights the urgent need for a strategic shift from increasing production to reducing demand. The report suggests promoting remote work, enhancing local services, and focusing on low-carbon transport to mitigate environmental impacts effectively.

The EU is set to discuss these insights to shape future policies that focus on sustainable practices and reducing resource use. At Avestix Intell, we are dedicated to guiding our clients through these critical changes, emphasizing strategic adaptation and sustainability in resource management.
