Eradicating ‘extreme poverty’ would raise global emissions by less than 1% - Carbon Brief
https://www.carbonbrief.org/eradicating-extreme-poverty-would-raise-global-emissions-by-less-than-1

The study, published in Nature Sustainability, highlights the global inequality in emissions between people in rich and poor countries. For example, it finds that the average carbon footprint of a person living in sub-Saharan Africa is 0.6 tonnes of carbon dioxide (tCO2). Meanwhile, the average US citizen produces 14.5tCO2 per year.

The authors find that the average carbon footprint in the top 1% of emitters was more than 75-times higher than that in the bottom 50%.

Why the concern about #Ukraine? It is a key grain exporter and it's unknown if a conflict with Russia would disrupt shipments, pressuring global food security

#Ukraine was #China's top #corn supplier until last year, when the U.S. took over (Ukraine had a short crop in 2020 and China's corn needs rose drastically). Is China confident Ukr can supply? Can Ukr ship China's purchases? Will U.S. supplies have to sub in? All valid questions.

This is the focus of the U.S. corn market, but beyond that, countries where food security is a top concern - in the Middle East and North Africa - rely heavily on Ukraine's exports. Disruptions in that trade, if severe enough, could have dire consequences for those citizens.

Ukraine crisis sends grain prices soaring, threatens food security - Nikkei Asia

Food prices could soar even higher if conflict were to break out between Russia & Ukraine, top producers of corn & wheat that are a staple to billions around the world, and raise the specter of runaway inflation & political instability in the Middle East.

Prepare for mass migration to cities in climate crisis, UK mayors warn | Climate crisis | The Guardian
https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/feb/16/prepare-for-mass-migration-to-cities-in-climate-crisis-uk-mayors-warn

Mass migration to some of the world’s cities due to the climate emergency is already under way and the World Bank has estimated that unless significant action is taken, 216 million people could be on the move by 2050. In 2020, 30 million people were displaced due to the climate crisis, and 70% of people internally displaced due to the climate crisis are living in urban areas. The World Bank predicts that more than 1 billion people are at risk of being driven from their homes for climate-related reasons.

btw, začínám chápat, jak naši to naší vládcové na COP26 mysleli s tím slibem ukončit odlesňování do roku 2030. To by mohlo vyjít.

Amazon rainforest will vanish by 2064, new study predicts, World News | wionews.com

Gatti has spent years observing the Amazon from the air. She believes we are as little as five years from a point of no return, where lush rainforest irreversibly begins to convert into dry savannah. It is also the point at which billions of tonnes of carbon would be dumped into the atmosphere. “It’s a nightmare,” she says.
