London, April 16, 2025 – New research from Planet Tracker, reveals that Brazil’s National Fertiliser Plan (PNF) focuses on reducing the country’s reliance on imported synthetic fertiliser by increasing domestic production, but lacks clear targets for curbing the overuse of synthetic fertiliser and the significant negative climate, nature and health impacts this causes.

Brazil’s 2022 National Fertiliser Plan lacks clear targets for reducing synthetic fertiliser use and fails to outline a transition to a sustainable, regenerative agribusiness sector. Brazil’s environmental wealth depends on its environmental health, which is threatened by the GHG emissions and pollution caused by the overuse of synthetic fertilisers.

The second, and hopefully final, round of negotiations for a strong Global Plastics Treaty will take place this August in Geneva. Investors must continue supporting a strong treaty, as it would reduce risks in the plastic value chain.

Analysis of over 4,000 corporate reports and investor communications from 30 leading European banks reveals widespread failure to address financial risks from plastic pollution.

Companies in the plastic industry should have one of the longest risk registers of any sector. European retail banks financing plastics, along with their investors are financially exposed to these plastic-related risks. In this report, we use natural language processing to examine how major European retail banks talk about plastics and whether they consider plastic pollution risk as part of their lending criteria.

The relentless expansion of AI requires ever more water. Processors, datacenters and often power, all need water. In this paper we focus on existing datacenters in Asia and reveal that the majority are located in areas of high water stress, which could affect their ongoing viability. AI cannot ignore nature’s boundaries forever.

Incitec Pivot is on track for a 1.5°C pathway by 2030. While Incitec Pivot demonstrates credible initiatives, such as technological innovation and strategic partnerships, certain transparency gaps remain.

Toray aims for carbon neutrality by 2050 but is most likely heading towards a 2°C to 3°C scenario by 2030. Without stronger absolute reduction commitments, enhanced supply chain accountability, and clearer links between incentives and Net Zero goals, Toray appears unlikely to align with the more ambitious 1.5°C target.

Analysis of 45 of the world’s largest food giants – worth USD 2.6 trillion1 – highlights inadequate environmental and financial risk disclosure related to fertiliser misuse.

Widespread misuse of synthetic fertilisers has led to a rise in fertiliser-related environmental risks. Analysis of 45 of the largest food system companies globally revealed that a third of companies are failing to acknowledge fertiliser risks at all.
