Soaring resource extraction worldwide by 2060 poses serious threat to climate goals, UN warns

The UN warns of a 60% increase in global resource extraction by 2060, driven by wealthy nations, posing a threat to climate goals and economic stability.

The report highlights that the surge in extraction exacerbates climate change and its impacts, necessitating urgent changes in energy, food, transportation, and housing sectors.

It stresses that unchecked extraction not only harms the environment but also endangers economic prosperity and community well-being.

The report calls for a shift to renewable energy, sustainable food production, eco-friendly transport, and green housing. It emphasizes the need for immediate global action to avert environmental catastrophe and ensure a sustainable future.
