"Degradation of the world’s natural resources by humans is rapidly outpacing
the planet’s ability to absorb the damage, meaning the rate of deterioration is
increasing globally, the most comprehensive environmental study ever undertaken
by the UN has found."

Societies and political structures that allow continued externalisation of
resource degradation costs onto the powerless can not end well.
