Humanity has witnessed unprecedented growth and prosperity in the past
decades, with the size of the world economy more than tripling and population
increasing by over 3 billion people since 1970. This growth, however, has been
accompanied by environmental pollution and natural resource depletion. The
current growth model and the mismanagement of natural assets could ultimately
undermine human development.
The OECD Environmental Outlook to 2050 asks “What will the next four decades
bring?” Based on joint modelling by the OECD and the Netherlands Environmental
Assessment Agency, it looks forward to the year 2050 to find out what
demographic and economic trends might mean for the environment if the world
does not adopt more ambitious green policies. It also looks at what policies
could change that picture for the better. This Outlook focuses on four areas:
climate change, biodiversity, freshwater and health impacts of pollution.
These four key environmental challenges were identified by the previous
Environmental Outlook to 2030 (OECD, 2008) as “Red Light” issues requiring
urgent attention.
