#Climate change is not just raising temperatures. It is increasing the likelihood of prolonged periods when heat, water stress and wildfire risk occur simultaneously. Understanding these compound extremes is essential for building resilience across our water, food, energy and health systems.

How on Earth did I not read this yet? really interesting and honestly kind of brazen modelling of the entire lifecycle - downstream, data centres, upstream use - of AI. Puts AI industry at 1.1% of total global energy, about the same for global emissions. More than 10x previously stated estimates

Final Results and Concluding Thoughts
Adding it all up, we estimate that the AI sector is responsible for almost 1,900 TWh of global energy consumption in 2026. And after accounting for additional factors that we did not explicitly analyze, like the construction of new electrical substations, robotic-centric warehouses, water reclamation facilities, and other infrastructure specifically designed to support the data center buildout, it’s likely that total AI-driven global energy demand is already closer to 2,000 TWh. Even at 1,900 TWh, the AI share of total global energy use in 2026 would be roughly 1.1%. We also estimate, after adding up all the sectoral numbers and landing at roughly 650 million metric tons of AI-driven CO2 emissions, that the AI share of global GHG emissions in 2026 stands at about 1.2%, with total annual global emissions sitting at roughly 55 gigatons of CO2-eq, albeit with a wide range of figures from EDGAR to UNEP (anywhere from 53 gigatons to 58 gigatons depending on a broad array of different assumptions). As we’ve discussed already, these numbers are much higher than many others in the media and academia have guessed on the basis of simplistic calculations and naïve assumptions.

The projections up to 2030 are obviously far worse and imply a catastrophic impact to global ecological stability. ChatGPT alone “processes approximately 2.5 billion prompts per day worldwide.”122 The scale of AI growth and diffusion globally is truly astounding, and the industry’s corresponding ecological footprint will soon rival that of major countries like India. It's not farfetched at all to think that the AI share of total global energy demand could rise to something like 5% by 2030, rivaling and in some cases surpassing the footprint of established dominant industries. The potential consequences of this extra resource pressure on biodiversity, global warming, freshwater scarcity, and biogeochemical cycles could be absolutely staggering and devastating for the…

The world faces two energy problems: hundreds of millions lack access to energy, and most of our energy still produces greenhouse gas emissions. The first energy problem of the world is the problem of energy poverty. People in very poor countries have very low emissions.

Unlocking private finance for nature: Addressing barriers and reframing risk-return dynamics Sheikh+ doi.org/10.1016/j.is... barriers "limited financial returns, high risk, high transaction costs, and undervaluation of nature" "reframing risk-return dynamics is critical"

Funding refers to the provision of cash
flow for meeting the long-term operational costs of a project
and repaying the finance raised for the project. In the case of na-
ture-related projects, these include the project maintenance
costs and the opportunity costs paid to landowners (Figure 1).
However, mobilizing private capital at scale remains a challenge.
At the same time, private finance can pose risks to social justice
and ecological integrity, with market forces sometimes over-
riding democratic and ecological priorities.7 Market-based
mechanisms that monetize ecosystem services such as biodi-
versity credits, carbon offsets, green bonds, and payments for
ecosystem services (PESs) often prioritize economic efficiency
and investor returns over equitable or ecologically robust out-
comes.

Europe is older, but Latin America is aging faster. The median age of a country or region is the age that divides its population into two equal parts: half of the people are older, and half are younger. As the population ages, the median age rises. That’s what this chart tracks.
