  • Global household material use is highly unequal: the top 10% drive roughly a third of footprints and most of the overshoot beyond safe limits. Curbing affluent overconsumption, while securing decent material floors, should be a central policy lever to cut material demand quickly and fairly.

  • Global material use is rising unsustainably, but its distribution across individuals remains unclear. A study now reveals deep inequality in household material footprints, especially for non-renewable resources, and suggests that curbing overconsumption among the wealthy is key to sustainability.

  • US CO2emissions dropped ∼11% between 2007 and 2013; a trend widely attributed to the increased use of natural gas over coal, yet the drivers behind this decline remain unquantified. Here, the authors analyse the drivers and show that the recent economic downturn is primarily responsible for the emissions drop.

  • Higher income is associated with healthier, but more environmentally detrimental, diets in the United States. Healthy diets with lower environmental impacts are achievable within current food budgets for the majority of the population, but are unaffordable for 38% of Black and Hispanic people in the lowest income and education groups.

  • The forecast of crop harvests in important exporting regions can trigger production reactions in the other hemisphere to compensate for seasonal price fluctuations and help stabilize the agricultural market, according to an analysis of simulations of an economic model driven by remote sensing data.
