About this Discussion

According to the IPCC, the concentration of greenhouse gases in the earth’s atmosphere is directly linked to the average global temperature on Earth, and the concentration has been rising steadily. The most abundant greenhouse gas, accounting for about two-thirds of greenhouse gases, carbon dioxide, is largely the product of burning fossil fuels. 

There is alarming evidence that important tipping points, leading to irreversible changes in major ecosystems and the planetary climate system, may already have been reached or passed. One of the most urgent challenges facing countries across the world today is how to achieve economic prosperity and development while also combating climate change.

The Paris climate change agreement commits nations to limit global temperature rise to no more than 2°C above pre-industrial levels, with countries pledging to cut or curb their greenhouse gas emissions – through a combination of mitigation and adaptation measures – by 2030.

Sharing this publication from our SEI colleagues: The Minerals–Energy–Food Complex! 

This report offers a fresh MEF lens to understand how minerals, energy and food systems are interconnected—and how they shape (and are shaped by) local resources, global markets and climate pressures. It also highlights power imbalances, where low-income countries face the impacts of extraction while others reap the gains.

The findings underscore why an inclusive green economy must prioritize transparency, fair governance and meaningful participation for affected communities.

As climate and nature risks rise, the value of stability — of ecosystems, economies, and communities — has never been clearer. At the recent IMF–World Bank Fall Meetings, UNEP and partners launched the Net Zero, Nature Positive Accelerator, a USD 100 million initiative to scale up resilient, nature-based investments. Because resilience is the new growth story. Check out this blog entry by Steven Stone, Deputy Director, Industry and Economy Division, United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP):
