dc.descriptionThis key messages document summarises how rapidly accelerating material extraction since 1970 intensifies environmental pressures, causing severe biodiversity loss, water stress, and greenhouse gas emissions. The scope covers global consumption patterns, revealing stark inequalities between high-income and low-income nations. By evaluating historical trends against sustainability scenarios, the text demonstrates that resource efficiency policies, climate mitigation, and societal changes can successfully achieve economic decoupling. The analysis establishes that coordinated national plans and international cooperation are vital to lower environmental impacts while maintaining well-being.en
