La PIB Mania nous mène à l’extinction. Alors que beaucoup d’économistes célèbrent le doublement du PIB mondial depuis 2000, cette étude démontre une aggravation sans précédent de l’empreinte écologique mondiale teintée d’inégalités et de déprivations sociales.

Hemos sobrepasado 7 de los 9 límites planetarios

Pero, ¿todos contribuimos igual a este forzamiento?

➡️Mientras que los países más ricos y de renta media sobrepasan varios límites, los países más pobre (42% de la población mundial) están dentro de todos los límites.

"The richest 20% of nations, with 15% of the global population, contribute more than 40% of annual ecological overshoot, whereas the poorest 40% of countries, with 42% of the global population, experience more than 60% of the social shortfall.

A revised ‘Doughnut’ providing a visual assessment of trends in social deprivation and planetary degradation over the past two decades shows more than doubling of global GDP accompanied by accelerating ecological overshoot but only a modest reduction in human deprivation.

For me, our latest Doughnut findings underscore the urgency and importance of the collective work to move beyond GDP as the measure of economic success, reorienting economies to create a future that provides a good life for all within planetary boundaries. Dive in! /FIN

There’s much more to say about this open-access study (please do have a read!). But for now, we are *also* launching a couple new resources that we are excited to share, aiming to make the latest Doughnut results as widely accessible as possible... 4/

We disaggregate the global results into country clusters by income. Median results show the richest 20% of countries (home to 15% of people) are responsible for over 40% of ecological overshoot in 2017, while the poorest 40% (home to 42% of people) experience more than 60% of global deprivation. 3/

We analyse 35 global indicators from 2000-2022. Median results show slow progress in ending human deprivation, which must *speed up fivefold* to meet global goals by 2030, while rapid ecological damage must *reverse at nearly twice the current pace* to safeguard a stable planet by mid-century. 2/

companies make it difficult or impossible to disable ai in their products because it is an authoritarian project made from a stack of consent violations in a trenchcoat

they don't give you a checkbox for "i don't want this and will never use it" because they know many people would check that box
