The report assesses biodiversity impacts and ecosystem service dependencies of 2,369 globally listed companies using multiple footprinting tools. It finds impacts highly concentrated among few firms, driven mainly by climate change, pollution and land use, with food, energy and chemicals sectors prioritised for investor engagement.

The Lancet Planetary Health Earth Commission report quantifies eight safe and just ESBs for biosphere, climate, nutrients, freshwater, and aerosols. Seven ESBs transgressed globally. Defines safe and just corridor for minimum resource access amid transformations to avert harm to health and planet.

The paper links subnational economic output with climate data, showing temperature increases reduce productivity levels, especially in hotter regions, without affecting long-run growth. End-century warming could lower global output by 7–14%, indicating larger climate damages than many models estimate.

This systematic review of 127 studies finds consistent evidence that climate change worsens economic inequality, disproportionately affecting poorer countries and households. Impacts arise across sectors and regions via channels such as reduced labour productivity and agricultural losses, with strong agreement that effects are regressive.

The report assesses historical warming’s effects on national income by combining climate model counterfactuals with temperature–growth estimates. It finds warming has likely reduced GDP in warmer, lower-income countries and moderately benefited some cooler, higher-income economies, contributing to increased between-country economic inequality since 1961.

This article highlights the major climate impact of livestock and explains why the absence of clear roadmaps, metrics, and financing strategies has left the sector far behind the energy transition. It proposes policy reforms, mitigation hierarchies, and justice-centered pathways to unlock effective and equitable change.

A practical guide outlining how financial institutions can scale transition finance through governance, eligibility criteria, portfolio segmentation, due-diligence enhancements and engagement. It highlights Canadian market context, barriers, and actionable “top tips” to support credible decarbonisation, stewardship and collaboration across the financial system.

Institute for Sustainable Finance (ISF) at Smith School of Business, Queen’s University, is Canada’s first multi-disciplinary hub aligning finance with environmental sustainability. It conducts research, publishes policy guidance, and runs education and collaboration programmes to help policymakers, investors, and firms integrate climate risk, nature, and ESG considerations into capital allocation and regulation.

Conservation International (CI) is a global non-profit that champions nature conservation to benefit both biodiversity and human societies. It uses science, fieldwork, policy and finance to protect critical land and marine ecosystems. Since 1987, CI has helped safeguard 13 million km² of land and sea across more than 70 countries.

BirdLife International, a global partnership of over 120 bird and nature conservation organisations, works worldwide to conserve bird species, protect vital habitats, and sustain biodiversity. Through science-based research, habitat protection and community engagement, BirdLife helps prevent species extinction and supports ecosystem health across continents.

International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) is a global membership Union—comprising governments, NGOs and civil-society organisations—that works to conserve biodiversity and promote sustainable use of natural resources. Founded in 1948, IUCN mobilises a network of over 1,400 Member organisations and around 16,000 experts worldwide. IUCN monitors species and ecosystems, develops data-driven policy guidance, and supports conservation and restoration projects across lands, oceans, freshwater systems and climate-sensitive regions.

NewClimate Institute is an independent non-profit think-tank focused on climate policy and global sustainability. It produces research, policy guidance and knowledge-sharing on energy transition, carbon markets, sustainable finance, just development and corporate climate responsibility. NewClimate publishes influential tools and reports — including Climate Action Tracker — to assess emission trends and state-level climate performance. Founded in 2014 and funded project-wise by public institutions and climate foundations, NewClimate aims to link rigorous analysis with practical climate-action pathways globally.

Climate Watch is a free, open-data platform aggregating global and national climate information: historical greenhouse-gas emissions, future scenarios, and countries’ climate commitments (NDCs, long-term strategies, net-zero pledges).

The Climate Policy Database (CPDB) is an open, collaborative resource that compiles detailed information on climate-change mitigation policies worldwide. It categorises and tracks over 6,500 policies across nearly 200 countries, enabling comparison of policy adoption, identification of mitigation gaps, and support for climate-policy analysis.

World Database on Protected and Conserved Areas (WDPCA): A global database maintained by UNEP‑WCMC (in partnership with IUCN and other bodies), combining terrestrial, inland-water, coastal and marine protected areas and other effective area-based conservation measures (OECMs).

The report finds agriculture particularly animal agriculture and diet, receives disproportionately little climate coverage. Only small fractions of articles mention meat or dietary shifts, despite their emissions significance. Coverage is declining overall, limiting public awareness and policy momentum. The analysis urges more accurate, comprehensive reporting on food-system climate impacts.
