Global Trend

Major worldwide environmental problems

Greenhouse gases emissions are destroying the Earth's climate equilibrium

  • CO2 concentrations are 145% of pre-industrial levels
  • Increasing global temperature could destroy ecosystems on around 13% of the world's land area
  • 2015 Paris Agreement sets out a global action plan to avoid dangerous climate change
  • Exceeding the 1.5°C threshold will cause severe risks for our planet according to 2018 IPCC report

Health of soils and waters increasingly at risk

  • About 50% of worldwide lubricants is left in the environment
  • The use of herbicides has become unsustainable for ecosystems
  • Every year around 300 million tons of plastic are produced:
  • 12 million tons are thrown into the sea
  • 78 million tons are packaging
  • Less that 14% of plastic packaging is recycled
