Exacerbating climate change, air pollution, soil erosion, biodiversity loss, and disruption of water cycles
Owing to overly intensive agriculture and disruption of nitrogen/phosphorus nutrient cycles, a third of soils already degraded; degradation to reach 90% by 2050
At current trends, half the world will face severe water stress by 2030, demand to exceed supply by 40% – regional boundaries have already been crossed
In the US, cleaning up hazardous waste already expected to cost USD 500 billion, posing potential liability risks for companies
68% of animal populations already lost; nature loss increases transmission risk of animal-borne diseases (like Covid-19) and threatens drug discovery pipeline
OECD estimates health and productivity costs of air pollution to USD 2.6 trillion per year
