The figure shows the 20 raw materials identified by the European Commision as being critical because risks of supply shortage and their impacts on the economy.
The figure shows the countries and country groups share of global Global Domestic Product, GDP (in percentage)
The figure shows the urban population [in millions] for the major word regions. In addition, the number of urban people living in cities with less than 750 000 inhabitants is shown.
The figure includes projections for different emission scenarios, for tropical and temperate regions, and for adaptation and no-adaptation cases combined. Relatively few studies have considered impacts on cropping systems for scenarios where global mean temperatures increase by 4°C or more. For five timeframes in the near-term and long-term, data (n=1090) are plotted in the 20-year period on the horizontal axis that includes the midpoint of each future projection period. Changes in crop yields are relative to late-20th-century levels. Data for each timeframe sum to 100%.
Terrestrial mean species abundance, expressed as percentage of the level that natural vegetation could support.
In 2013, 30% of EU citizens have heard of biodiversity but didn’t know what it is.
In 2007, 80% of EU citizens have never heard of the Natura 2000 network.
