Global Resources Outlook 2024: Pathways to a liveable planet as resource use spikes

Abstract

Global Resources Outlook 2024 was written under the auspices of the International Resource Panel (IRP) of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and Janez Potočnik, Izabella Teixeira - co-chairs of the IRP, the members of the IRP and its Steering Committee. The report shows that it is both possible and profitable to decouple economic growth from environmental impacts and resource use.
