A new report from Stockholm Environment Institute challenges the notion that industrial insect farming is a climate solution, citing varying environmental performance depending on production systems and energy use. The sector faces financial headwinds and regulatory barriers limit its potential for low-impact production.
Researchers at Stockholm Environment Institute developed a new method to identify and reduce risks of violating Sámi rights linked to industrial projects on traditional lands. The method highlights significant risks to human rights, particularly for the Gabna Sámi reindeer herding community.
Global air pollution mortality rates decreased by 45% between 1990 and 2019, with 52% of the decrease attributed to reduced vulnerability, such as improved healthcare access and poverty reduction. Integrating healthcare improvements into air quality strategies is crucial for protecting vulnerable populations.
The collaboration aims to assess cross-border climate risk across the minerals-energy-food complex using Jupiter's ClimateScore Global platform. The MEF complex framework examines how climate hazards propagate through supply chains, affecting commodity prices and the pace of the energy transition.
A new report highlights the growing impact of climate-related disruptions on global supply chains, which are increasingly exposed to climate-related shocks. The sector's inability to manage systemic risk may undermine stability and amplify climate stress unless substantial changes are made to business models and regulation.
A new report from SEI and CEAP warns that the current SDGs systematically neglect animal welfare and health, undermining progress on human health, environmental protection, and social equity. The report identifies three pathways to integrate animal welfare into global governance.
A new study links global consumer markets to habitat loss for rare species in the Cerrado savannah, finding that over half of the impact is attributed to food and products consumed outside Brazil. The study reveals specific links between consumer countries, traders, soy production, and habitat loss.
