Clothing Waste Statistics
Fashion creates huge waste: only 1% of clothes get recycled into new clothing, while 75% goes to landfills—here’s why it matters.
Cod Overfishing Statistics
Only 62.6% of assessed global fish stocks were fished sustainably in 2019—see what this means for cod overfishing and recovery.
Bycatch Statistics
Every year, 200,000–400,000 seabirds die from bycatch in global fisheries—see which measures can cut mortality.
Global Warming Statistics
Mauna Loa measured 421 ppm of CO2 in May 2024—still climbing. See how rising greenhouse gases drive global warming.
Restaurant Food Waste Statistics
4.4 billion pounds of U.S. foodservice food waste—see the leading causes and the most effective ways restaurants can cut it.
Poland Recycling Industry Statistics
In 2022, Poland recycled 45.6% of municipal waste—about 0.5 percentage points from the next benchmark. See what’s holding progress back.
Biodiversity Statistics
Only 41,415 species are recorded as threatened by the IUCN—discover what that number reveals about biodiversity loss and risk.
World Pollution Statistics
99% of people breathe air above WHO limits for at least one pollutant—explore where pollution is most dangerous and why it spreads.
Ocean Pollution Statistics
Between coasts and rivers, 8–12 million metric tons of plastics enter the ocean each year—learn the sources behind this flow and the solutions that cut it.
Ganges River Pollution Statistics
Bathing water at Ganges ghats often goes beyond fecal coliform risk thresholds—learn where contamination peaks and why.
Pollution Statistics
Air pollution is linked to 11.6% of deaths worldwide—learn the biggest sources and what policy and technology can do now to cut exposure.
Amazon Rainforest Statistics
Roughly 1.0 GtCO2e per year from Amazon deforestation and degradation makes climate impacts unavoidable—see the key figures behind it.
Amazon Rainforest Deforestation Statistics
Around 7.7% of the Amazon’s tree cover was lost from 2001–2023—see how Hansen/UMD and other monitoring reveal where forest loss hits hardest.
Tuna Overfishing Statistics
FAO estimates IUU fishing makes up ~20% of global capture catches—learn how that pressure shows up in tuna overfishing data.

In 2016, AFOLU produced 49% of global greenhouse gas emissions—discover how carbon footprint data pinpoints this source.
Environmental Health Statistics
1.5 million deaths a year are linked to household air pollution from solid fuels and kerosene—see the environmental health impact worldwide.
Depletion Of Natural Resources Statistics
Only 7.2% of the global economy is circular—most materials aren’t reused. See how this fuels natural resource depletion.
Plastic Pollution In The Ocean Statistics
Oceans may hold 150 million tons of plastic today—and it’s projected to double every decade. See the key stats behind solutions.
Food Waste In America Statistics
American households throw away 76 billion pounds of food each year—cut through the figures to see the real costs behind the waste.
