High-income countries, home to just 15% of the world's population, emit 34% of global CO2—more than twice their share. They use 6x more resources and generate 10x the climate impact of low-income ones. Overconsumption, not population, drives this inequality. #EnvironmentalDegradation

Will technology save us?
While technology has undoubtedly brought countless benefits, it is not a standalone remedy for #environmentaldegradation caused by #overconsumption and unsustainable population growth.

Food: greenhouse gas emissions across the supply chain Greenhouse gas emissions are measured in kilograms of carbon dioxide-equivalents (CO₂eq) per kilogram of food.
