The United Nations (UN) has issued yet another warning in an attempt to prompt global action to battle factors that lead to climate change. This time, the warning came in the form of a hefty assessment for humanity, estimating that the world is losing around $5 billion every hour due to environmental damage caused by unsustainable food production and fossil-fuel use. The latest Global Environment Outlook (GEO), prepared by 200 researchers under the UN Environment Programme (UNEP), said that this level of harm is part of a broader breakdown that could make global collapse unavoidable unless governments act against climate change collectively and revamp the way economies function.
