#resourceuse — Public Fediverse posts

Today, July 24, is #EarthOvershootDay: the day when global #resourceuse exceeds what our planet can sustainably provide (the first #OvershootDay was on Dec 25, 1971). Rich countries continue to use proportionally more resources, stealing both the future and present from everyone else. #ClimateCrisis

Decent living standards for 8.5B would require 30% of current resource use

From another Prof: "Arrived at the UCL Sustainability Awards just as Andrea Sella was declared a winner for his work on energy saving at Chemistry (in absentia)" Let's see his meticulous work rolled out across #UCL @sellathechemist #ClimateAction #ResourceUse

East-West battleground will shift to metals

"The global trade war will shift from fossil fuels to metals and raw materials. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine highlighted the risk of relying on autocratic states for energy. Even if Europe’s gas crisis eases, Western manufacturers’ focus will switch to reducing China’s dominance in materials key to a cleaner economy."

We are running out of metals with current use-trend in the well-off part of the world.

"highest 20% of the population accounted for 60–75% of the world's total metal stock, while the lowest 20% accounted for only about 1%."

"analysis shows that the continued reduction of metal stock inequality through this growth-led pathway will put heavy pressure on the environment, with a 2-3-fold increase in global metal demand by mid-21st century."
