Natural resource-driven fragility
In an increasingly interconnected world, we are confronted with formidable global challenges stemming from resource depletion, unsustainable production and consumption patterns, and the alarming consequences of climate change. The scientific consensus is clear: the current models of production and consumption are pushing our planet towards unsustainable limits. While there is growing awareness of the political processes that transform environmental concerns into social issues and policy development, the absence of reliable indicators on access to natural resources hampers the integration of water, energy, and food security into the sustainable development agenda. This report endeavours to define and map natural resources-driven fragility, aiming to lay the foundation for the development of a visualization tool – a global map highlighting vulnerable areas acutely exposed to natural resources-driven fragility. By providing empirical evidence, this tool will serve as a compass, guiding decisions regarding geographical and thematic areas of intervention, thereby alleviating the burden of natural resources-driven fragility faced by the most vulnerable nations.
