The widespread destruction of the natural world is weakening the achievement of the SDGs and exposing humanity’s future to danger. A human-induced triple planetary crisis of climate change, nature and biodiversity loss, and pollution and waste is pushing nature to the breaking point. That is putting at risk the food we eat, the air we breathe, the water we drink and the materials and resources upon which our societies are built. The triple planetary crisis is stressing most heavily the vulnerable, including the poor, women and indigenous peoples. Unless humanity reverses its environmental course, it will be impossible to achieve the SDGs. (www.unep.org. Adaptado.)

Wildlife populations are in freefall around the world, driven by human overconsumption, population growth and intensive agriculture, according to a major new assessment of the abundance of life on Earth. On average, global populations of mammals, birds, fish, amphibians and reptiles fell by 68% between 1970 and 2016, according to the WWF and Zoological Society of London (ZSL)'s biennial Living Planet Report 2020. Two years ago, the figure stood at 60%. The research is one of the most comprehensive assessments of global biodiversity available and was compiled by 134 experts from around the world. It found that from the rainforests of central America to the Pacific Ocean, nature is being exploited and destroyed by humans on a scale never previously recorded. Deforestation and the conversion of wild spaces for human food production have largely been blamed for the destruction of Earth's web of life. The report highlights that 75% of the Earth's ice-free land has been significantly altered by human activity, and almost 90% of global wetlands have been lost since 1700. Using satellite analysis, the report also finds that wilderness areas – defined as having no human imprint – only account for 25% of the Earth's terrestrial area and are largely restricted to Russia, Canada, Brazil and Australia. Tanya Steele, chief executive at WWF, said: "We are wiping wildlife from the face of the planet, burning our forests, polluting and over-fishing our seas and destroying wild areas. We are wrecking our world – the one place we call home – risking our health, security and survival here on Earth."

De acordo com o texto,
- A)a atividade agrícola intensiva, o crescimento da população e o consumo excessivo são responsáveis pela destruição das espécies selvagens.
- B)somente a diminuição do uso de recursos em 60% nos ajudará a garantir um planeta estável para o futuro.
- C)países como Rússia, Canadá, Brasil e Austrália são os que mais desmatam para agricultura e pecuária.
- D)a extinção de espécies de mamíferos, aves, peixes, anfíbios e répteis passou a ocorrer a partir dos anos 70.
- E)a extinção de 68% das espécies é também resultado da comercialização de animais selvagens.

October 25, 2016
The sudden jump in carbon dioxide levels can be blamed on El Niño.
Across the globe, carbon dioxide (CO2) average levels are expected to reach the symbolic and significant milestone of 400 parts per million for the first time in 2016. The sudden jump in carbon dioxide levels can be blamed on the El Niño conditions, which developed in 2015 and had a large influence on the weather for the first half of 2016. El Niño is the warming of the surface of the Pacific Ocean, which is known to have a dramatic effect on the weather around the globe. One of the impacts of El Niño is a drought in tropical parts of the world. In a drought, the growth of vegetation slows, which reduces its ability to absorb carbon dioxide. Normally, tropical forests absorb significant amount of carbon dioxide. It is estimated that about half of all carbon dioxide emissions are absorbed by natural absorbers, known as ‘sinks’, such as forests, vegetation and the oceans. In a drought, less carbon dioxide is absorbed, so the levels of the gas in the atmosphere increases. (www.aljazeera.com. Adaptado.)

- C)chegou ao pico de 400 partes por milhão em 2015, mas diminuiu em 2016.
