Large proportions of global supplies of nine of our essential commodities are produced at sites that are increasingly vulnerable to climate change. This includes food crops that account for 42% of the calories people eat, and minerals and metals that are critical to transportation, construction, manufacturing, electronics, and the green transition. Explore the percentages of production capacity for each commodity that may be disrupted by growing heat stress and drought - even if global carbon emissions sharply decline - then read the full report: https://pwc.to/3xPNrRv #ClimateAdaptation #ClimateRisks #KeyCommodities

🚨 Top-performing organisations are considerably more likely than their peers to have a clear ecosystem strategy and to derive a significant portion of their revenue from ecosystems.

Our new AI Jobs Barometer report goes beyond predictions about AI's impact to find empirical evidence, and a 4.8x growth in labour productivity shows that AI appears to be driving a productivity revolution.

🌾 We rely on essential commodities including food crops such as wheat, maize, and rice; critical minerals like lithium, cobalt, and copper; and vital metals like iron, copper, and bauxite (which is used to make aluminium). These food crops account for 42% of the calories people eat and these minerals and metals are critical to transportation, construction, manufacturing, electronics, and the green transition. By adapting to a hotter world, we can reduce the impacts of climate disruption on commodity production, helping to protect people and prosperity. 🌎 Our report ‘Climate Risks to Nine Key Commodities: Protecting People and Prosperity’ explores how much climate change-driven heat stress and drought threaten the production of the commodities we all rely on, the associated risks, and how to manage them: https://pwc.to/3xPNrRv #ClimateAdaptation #ClimateRisks #KeyCommodities
