【可持續發展相關報告】
今天小編想與各位分享出自經濟與和平研究所(Institute for Economics & Peace)的《生態威脅報告2020》(Ecological Threat Register 2020),這份報告衡量了全球各國當前面臨的主要生態威脅並對2050年的全球生態環境進行了預測。
核心發現如下:
全球有141個國家至少面臨一種生態威脅,19個國家面臨四種或更多威脅。
全球有64億人口生活在面臨中度至高度生態威脅的國家。
到2050年,報告所涉的157個國家中有34%可能面臨災難性的缺水問題,22%可能面臨糧食無保障問題。
報告所涉國家中有60%常受洪水的影響,其次是缺水,到2040年時水源匱乏問題將影響43%的國家,特別是中東和北非地區將面臨巨大風險。
撒哈拉以南非洲、南亞、中東和北非是面臨生態威脅最多的地區;且結合全球和平指數,受生態威脅影響最嚴重的19個國家中,有10個國家目前處於動盪狀態。
由於人口增長率低,歐洲和南美洲多數國家將面臨較低程度的生態威脅。
【Sustainable Development Related Report】
Today the editor would like to share with you the “Ecological Threat Register 2020” from the Institute for Economics & Peace. This report measures the major ecological threats that countries around the world currently facing and predicts the global ecological environment in 2050.
The core findings are as follows:
There are 141 countries facing at least one ecological threat, and 19 countries facing four or more threats.
There are 6.4 billion people living in countries facing moderate to high ecological threats.
By 2050, 34% of the 157 countries covered in the report may face catastrophic water shortages, and 22% may face food insecurity.
60% of the countries covered in the report are often affected by floods, followed by water shortages. By 2040, water scarcity will affect 43% of the countries. The Middle East and North Africa will face huge risks.
Sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia, the Middle East, and North Africa are the regions facing the most ecological threats; combined with the Global Peace Index, 10 of the 19 countries most affected by ecological threats are currently in a state of turbulence.
Due to the low population growth rate, most countries in Europe and South America will face relatively low ecological threats.
