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 does global poverty look like if we rely on the notions of poverty in countries like Denmark, the US, or Germany? And how should this perspective inform our aspirations for the future of global poverty?

If everyone shifted to a plant-based diet we would reduce global land use for agriculture by 75%. This large reduction of agricultural land use would be possible thanks to a reduction in land used for grazing and a smaller need for land to grow crops.

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

Three-quarters of deforestation is driven by agriculture. Most comes from the production of beef, palm oil, soy and logging industries.

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

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.

To be able to track the development of the pandemic in the UK we built this page in which we are making the local UK data available in six charts. Updated daily.

The primary way to measure working hours is with surveys, but the data can have limitations that are important to understand.

Workers in richer countries tend to work fewer hours than those in poorer countries.

Working hours for the average worker have decreased dramatically over the last 150 years.
