Microplastic and Microfibre Pollution
Estimates suggest global annual plastic emissions may reach 53 million metric tons per year by 2030. In the environment, plastic breaks down into smaller and smaller pieces. Microplastics and microfibres are 5 mm and smaller in size, and they threaten environmental and human health on a global scale.
Biodiversity Loss
Humans and the environment rely on healthy biodiversity, but marine pollution, invasive species, overfishing, climate change and more human activities threaten biodiversity. Living Planet Report 2020 recorded a 68% average decline of mammals, birds, fish, amphibians and reptiles from 1970 to 2016.
