Quantifying overconsumption
The transition to a sustainable bioeconomy joins socio-economic and environmental goals. Getting there requires monitoring national consumption levels in relation to sustainability metrics. While substituting biomass for fossil and mineral resources can lead to win-wins, there is also a risk that if done the wrong way, impacts could accumulate at a global scale to push planetary systems beyond their boundaries and exacerbate vulnerability and inj…
The drivers and impacts of Amazon forest degradation
Approximately 2.5 × 10 6 square kilometers of the Amazon forest are currently degraded by fire, edge effects, timber extraction, and/or extreme drought, representing 38% of all remaining forests in the region. Carbon emissions from this degradation total up to 0.2 petagrams of carbon per year (Pg C year −1 ), which is equivalent to, if not greater than, the emissions from Amazon deforestation (0.06 to 0.21 Pg C year −1 ). Amazon forest degradatio…
Projected climate change impacts on mean and year-to-year variability of yield of key smallholder crops in Sub-Saharan Africa
This study investigates the impacts of climate change in Sub-Saharan Africa on yields of maize and cereals (sorghum and millet) which are of particular importance to smallholding farmers. An ensemble of six climate scenarios are input to a crop model to compute changes in food availability (mean annual yield) and food stability (standard deviation and coefficient of variation) between the periods 1971–2000 and 2041-2070. Our results show a partic…
Environmental and socioeconomic footprints of the German bioeconomy
Shared Socio-economic Pathways for European agriculture and food systems
Scenarios describe plausible and internally consistent views of the future. They can be used by scientists, policymakers and entrepreneurs to explore the challenges of global environmental change given an appropriate level of spatial and sectoral detail and systematic development. We followed a nine-step protocol to extend and enrich a set of global scenarios - the Shared Socio-economic Pathways (SSPs) - providing regional and sectoral detail for…
