80% of marine pollution originates on land.

We need to restore 350 million hectares of degraded landscapes by 2030 to meet global targets.

An estimated 33 per cent of the world’s soil is moderately to highly degraded.

On current trends, annual resource use per capita will grow by over 70 per cent by mid-century

Growing and harvesting biomass contributed over 90% to total global biodiversity loss and water stress.
Policy should target the sectors that are mainly responsible: food related sectors (agriculture, retailers, and food services), wood related industries (forestry, construction) and increasingly biochemicals.

About one-third of the world’s soils are moderately to highly degraded because of erosion.

Minerals and metals provide inputs to almost every sector of the global economy.

Primary material extracted from the Earth rose from 22 bn tonnes in 1970 to 70 bn tonnes in 2010.
