OUT NOW: Global Resource Outlook 2024 Annex: Case Studies (Part I) This Annex presents country profiles developed by country experts, covering data on material flows and environmental impacts of resource use for a set of eight countries. Read more here:

Global material productivity (efficiency of material use) has grown at a slower rate than labor, energy and GHG productivity. #GRO24 emphasizes the need for a push towards sustainable materials management and resource productivity enhancements. More here:

Environmental impact footprints differ greatly between income country groups. For example, high-income countries cause 10 times more climate impacts through consumption than low-income countries. Learn more in the #GRO24 here:

#GRO24 recommendations to improve the Built Environment provisioning system: 🧱Assuring sustainability of new building stock 🏗️Retrofitting existing building stock 🏙️More intensive use of buildings 🏭Decarbonizing material production Read more here:

#GRO24 recommendations to improve the Mobility provisioning system: 🚇Moving towards active mobility & public transportation ✈️Reducing carbon-intensive frequent travelling modalities 🔎Decreasing emissions intensity of transport modalities Read more here:

#GRO24 recommendations to improve the Food & Nutrition provisioning system include: 🍽️Reducing demand of most impactful food commodities 🗑️Reducing food loss & food waste 🌾Protecting & restoring productive land Read more here:

Today, IRP Co-Chair Teixeira will join @EmmanuelMacron and other distinguished panellists, at the @ParisPeaceForum to discuss "Closing the North-South Gap: The Paris Pact for People and the Planet and the Reform of Global Institutions". More info here:

A “provisioning system” is a set of elements that interact to transform resources to satisfy human needs. The #GRO24 focuses on four provisioning systems central to human well-being: energy, food, built environment and mobility systems. Learn more here:

The provisioning systems with the highest demand for material resource use are built environment and mobility, followed by energy and food. However, material needs show stark differences between country income groups! Learn more in the #GRO24 here:

Today, IRP Co-Chair Izabella Teixeira will be participating in a side event of @COP16Oficial on "Listening to the science: Using the findings of IPBES and IRP as a basis to build synergies between biodiversity, climate change and resource use." More info:

The Global Resources Outlook 2024 - Summary for Policymakers is now available in all UN languages and Japanese (with gratitude to the Ministry of the Environment, Japan for the contribution). Find the different versions of the #GRO24 SPM here:

The #GRO24 shows that achieving healthy and sufficient diets for all necessitates a rebalancing of global per capita calorie intake, increasing in low and lower middle-income countries, while decreasing in high-income countries. Learn more here:

The #GRO24 determined six critical aspects for the transitions towards sustainable resource use, as well as recommendations for each. Last, but not least, is the need to achieve more effective resource-intensive provisioning systems. Read more here:
