The goods and services that we all need are not just there; they need to be produced. Growth means that their quality and quantity increase.

Our free, open-access dataset tracking global COVID-19 vaccinations has been published in Nature Human Behaviour.

Explore the research on coral reefs. This is part of our latest collection of work on Biodiversity and Wildlife.

Which countries and rivers emit the most plastic to the ocean? What does this mean for solutions to tackle plastic pollution?

Explore our new collection of work on the topic of biodiversity and wildlife.

Wild mammal biomass has declined by 85% since the rise of humans. But we can turn things around by reducing the amount of land we use for agriculture.

Germany is one country which has responded well to the Coronavirus pandemic. How did they do so? In-country experts provide key insights.

What are the carbon opportunity costs of our diet? How much carbon could we store by regrowing forests and wild habitats on existing farmland?

Estimates of food emissions can range from one-quarter to one-third. Where do these differences come from?

I study the data on today's global inequality to calculate the minimum aggregate growth that is required to reduce global poverty substantially.

Vietnam is one country which has responded well to the Coronavirus pandemic. How did they do so? In-country experts provide key insights.

South Korea is one country which has responded well to the Coronavirus pandemic. How did they do so? In-country experts provide key insights.

What would global poverty look like if we rely on the notions of poverty in countries like Denmark, the US, or Germany? And why does this matter?

We could reduce the amount of land used for grazing and croplands used to grow animal feed.

Rich countries import foods produced on deforested land in the tropics. How much deforestation do they import?

The majority of the world today is poor: 85% of the world live on less than $30 per day. We need economic growth to alleviate global poverty.

There was a marked acceleration in deforestation in the 20th century. But, global deforestation peaked in the 1980s. Since then, it has slowed.

Over the last 10,000 years the world has lost one-third of its forests. An area twice the size of the United States. Half occurred in the last century.

To be able to track the vaccination campaign in the United States, we are making state-by-state data available in the following charts. We are updating the data daily.

Claims that the world has only 100, 60, or even 30 years of harvests left often hit the headlines. These claims are overblown, but soil erosion is a problem and we can do something about it.

We are building a global dataset on COVID-19 Vaccinations. Explore the latest data for all countries.
