The world faces an unprecedented triple planetary crisis of climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution alongside escalating resource consumption, warns the 2024 edition of the Global Resources Outlook. The report, compiled by the International Resource Panel, underscores the urgent need for global action and describes the potential to turn negative trends around and put humanity on track towards sustainability.

Key take messages:

• Projected 60% growth in resource use by 2060.
• Resource intensity reduction in food, mobility, housing, and energy systems: essential for achieving SDGs, climate goals, and ensuring a just, livable planet
• Policy action is critical to phase out unsustainable activities, speed up responsible and innovative ways of meeting human needs and promote social acceptance of the necessary transitions.
