- morsch 5y agoPresumably you're referring to this report: https://www.resourcepanel.org/reports/global-resources-outlook https://www.resourcepanel.org/reports/global-resources-outlo... "The extraction and processing of natural resources has accelerated over the last two decades, and accounts for more than 90 per cent of our biodiversity loss and water stress and approximately half of our climate change impacts."

Here's a guardian article about the report (but the official summary is also very readable): https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2019/mar/12/resource-extraction-carbon-emissions-biodiversity-loss https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2019/mar/12/resource...
