The tropics lost 6.7 million hectares of primary forest in 2024, according to Global Forest Watch. That was the highest annual total on record, driven largely by fire in a drought year. Understanding the deforestation causes behind numbers like these…
The Amazon rainforest covers 550 million hectares and contains roughly 10% of all species on Earth. It has also lost approximately 17% of its original forest cover to Amazon deforestation, with another 17% degraded according to a 2023 assessment published…
The tropics lost 6.7 million hectares of primary forest in 2024, a record high according to Global Forest Watch. That’s roughly 18 football fields of forest cleared every minute. Knowing how to stop deforestation requires addressing the economic pressures that…
The cocoa supply chain stretches from smallholder farms in West Africa to chocolate factories in Europe and North America. Roughly 70% of the world’s cocoa comes from just two countries: Ivory Coast and Ghana. That geographic concentration creates a direct…
Satellite imagery makes deforestation before and after comparisons possible at a scale that ground surveys never could. A single Sentinel-2 satellite pass captures 290 km of terrain at 10-meter resolution, and the archive now stretches back over a decade. Comparing…
Every cup of coffee passes through a chain of hands, processes, and countries before reaching a consumer. The coffee supply chain connects over 12.5 million farmers in tropical regions to roughly 2.25 billion cups consumed worldwide each day. Understanding how…
Companies reporting to CDP have identified $1.47 trillion in physical climate risks affecting their operations. A quarter of that risk is materializing right now. Yet only 9% of assessed companies are investing in tangible physical adaptation measures, totaling just $84.5…
Climate scenario analysis has moved from optional exercise to regulatory requirement. Banks, insurers, and corporates now need to model how different climate pathways affect their assets and portfolios. But running scenario analysis demands the right climate scenario analysis tool —…
A climate audit is a structured review of an organization’s climate-related risks, emissions data, and environmental governance. Think of it as a health check for how well your company understands and manages its exposure to climate change. But the phrase…
