The electric vehicle (EV) revolution is accelerating across the United States thanks to falling prices, improving technology, and the historic investments and incentives in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and the Inflation Reduction Act. As the auto industry speeds toward electric vehicle manufacturing, it is critical protections are established to ensure long-time autoworkers and communities economically dependent on the auto industry are supported and not left behind during the sector’s transition. EVs can be a job creator with the right policies, but the effects will be uneven – with job losses in some segments of auto manufacturing, such as internal combustion engines, and job gains in others, such as battery manufacturing. Meanwhile, union participation and job quality in auto manufacturing has been on a downward trajectory for more than a decade. It is important for states to plan ahead to ensure the EV transition is just and equitable for everyone. Join World Resources Institute on June 27 for a conversation with federal policymakers, labor, private sector and environmental leaders to discuss how the U.S. can create equitable and just policies for auto workers as the industry electrifies.

Intensive research and modeling examining the nexus of the food system, economic development, and the environment show why each of the 22 items on the menu is important and quantifies how far each solution can get us. This site presents text from the Synthesis Report, with download links to full chapters from the complete report. As the global population grows from 7 billion in 2010 to a projected 9.8 billion in 2050, and incomes grow across the developing world, overall food demand is on course to increase by more than 50 percent, and demand for animal-based foods by nearly 70 percent. Yet today, hundreds of millions of people remain hungry, agriculture already uses almost half of the world’s vegetated land, and agriculture and related land-use change generate one-quarter of annual green...

How much forest was lost in 2021? This section of the Forest Pulse is updated annually using annual tree cover loss data to provide a comprehensive overview on where forests have been lost around the world. Annual updates are released near the first quarter of each year and cover the previous year’s trends. Forest Loss Remained Stubbornly High in 2021 By The tropics lost 11.1 million hectares of tree cover in 2021, according to new data from the University of Maryland and available on Global Forest Watch. • Explore the data on GFW Of particular concern are the 3.75 million hectares of loss that occurred within tropical primary rainforests — areas of critical importance for carbon storage and biodiversity — equivalent to a rate of 10 football pitches a minute. Tropical primary forest loss in 2021 resulted in 2.5 Gt of carbon dioxide emissions, equivalent to the Tropical primary forest loss, 2002-2021 And it's not just tropical forests that are of concern. Boreal forests — mainly those in Russia — experienced unprecedented tree cover loss in 2021, largely driven by fires. These trends underscore just how much action it will take to achieve global zero-deforestation goals. Under the 2021 Top 10 countries for tropical primary forest loss in 2021 Indonesia reduced primary forest loss for the fifth straight year The rate of primary forest loss in Indonesia continued to decline in 2021 for the fifth straight year, falling by 25% compared to 2020. Yet another year of decline is ca...
