Global study predicts that more than half the global population will be living with overweight and obesity within 12 years if prevention, treatment and support do not improve
▪ The World Obesity Atlas 2023, published by World Obesity Federation, predicts that the global economic impact of overweight and obesity will reach $4.32 trillion annually by 2035 if prevention and treatment measures do not improve. At almost 3% of global GDP, this is comparable with the impact of COVID-19 in 2020.
▪ The majority of the global population (51%, or over 4 billion people) will be living with either overweight or obesity by 2035 if current trends prevail. 1 in 4 people (nearly 2 billion) will have obesity.
▪ Childhood obesity could more than double by 2035 (from 2020 levels). Rates are predicted to double among boys to 208 million (100% increase) and more than double among girls to 175 million (125% increase) and are rising more rapidly among children than adults.
▪ Lower income countries are facing rapid increases in obesity prevalence. Of the 10 countries with the greatest expected increases in obesity globally (for both adults and children), 9 of those are from low or lower-middle income countries. All are from either Asia or Africa.

Climate change, the Covid19 pandemic, and recent conflicts are disrupting our Mediterranean societies. These crises threaten rural and agricultural communities that are already vulnerable as a result of poor development, environmental degradation, drought, and the gradual abandonment of the peasantry. They undermine the food supply systems of these communities and affect their livelihoods, thus putting them at increased risk of poverty.

A lot interesting (observational) based analysis (climate indicators) in there supported by strong graphics for all continents. Some headline messages: - Europe has been warming faster than any other continent in recent decades, with temperatures increasing at twice the global average rate - During summer, much of the continent was affected by exceptional heatwaves, and the highest temperatures in western Europe reached around 10°C warmer than typical summer maximum temperatures. Southern Europe saw a record number of days with ‘very strong heat stress'. Some of the 2022 records in Europe: - Warmest summer on record
- Record loss of glacier ice from European Alps
- Record sunshine duration
- 2nd lowest river flow on record
- 2nd largest wildfire burnt area on record
- 2nd lowest surface soil moisture on record

Enabling resilience of farming systems is best accomplished with actors taking different roles -
Improving farming systems' resilience requires enhancing their transformability capacity -
The actors enhance resilience by reinforcing human capital, response diversity, social organization and learning -
This paper provides a set of resilience-enabling roles that delineate the pathways to make farming systems more resilient.

L’année 2023 marque le vingtième anniversaire du Rapport mondial des Nations Unies sur la mise en valeur des ressources en eau (WWDR) ainsi que le dixième anniversaire de sa transformation en un rapport thématique annuel. Elle verra également se dérouler la première grande conférence de l’Organisation des Nations Unies (ONU) depuis 1977 consacrée aux ressources en eau — conférence dans laquelle le WWDR tiendra une place déterminante en tant que principal rapport de référence du système des Nations Unies sur les ressources en eau.Ces moments charnières nous donnent l’occasion de réfléchir aux réussites passées mais, surtout, de dresser un bilan et de tirer les enseignements de nos erreurs alors que nous nous engageons dans les prochaines décennies. La bonne nouvelle, c’est que le WWDR rencontre un écho de plus en plus retentissant au fil des années, comme en témoignent divers indicateurs parmi ...

La crise de la Covid-19 et la guerre en Ukraine ont entrainé des bouleversements rapides des marchés agricoles et agroalimentaires. Leur enchaînement a remis au premier plan politique et économique la question de la « souveraineté alimentaire », sans que le sens de cette expression ne soit toujours explicité.
Afin d’éclairer le débat, FranceAgriMer a publié en mars 2023 un rapport sur cette souveraineté alimentaire, approchée par les indicateurs macroéconomiques des bilans de consommation. S’il n’existe pas de définition unique, ces travaux, présentés lors du dernier Salon international de l’agriculture, considèrent la « souveraineté » comme une maîtrise suffisante des dépendances externes, qu’elles soient plus ou moins choisies, nécessaires ou indispensables. Par produit ou groupe de produits substituables entre eux, les approches par bilan mettent en regard les ressources (productions, importations et éventuelle baisse des stocks) et les utilisations (consommations, exportations et stockage éventuel).

Droughts have increased globally by nearly 30 percent since the year 2000, posing one of the most significant threats to agricultural systems and costing billions in global economic losses, according to a report by the U.N. Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD). But the use of sustainable land management practices, such as cover cropping as well as reduced tillage and improved irrigation techniques can help farmers regain control over their land, revitalize the soil, and mitigate the effects of drought.
