No country catches more seafood than China. The massive expansion of China’s distant-water fishing fleet has come with dire environmental and social costs, as the fleet often resorts to extreme ways to enhance its low profitability.
No country catches more seafood than China, whose share of global catches has quadrupled since 1950. However, the massive expansion of China’s distant-water fishing fleet has come with significant environmental and social costs. Planet Tracker’s latest report highlights the urgent need for financial institutions and governments to address these issues and promote sustainability, proposing an ambitious transition funded by a RMB 5.5 billion (USD 759 million) sovereign bond, the ‘Hai Feng’ (ocean abundance) bond.

Bayer is projected to align with a 2°C warming scenario by 2030, according to an updated analysis by Planet Tracker. This compares to an earlier 3°C projection in August 2023. The company aims for Net Zero GHG emissions by 2050, with interim goals for 2030, and achieved an 11% reduction in total GHG emissions from 2019 to 2023. However, Planet Tracker’s analysis shows significant variability in emissions trends, suggesting Bayer might struggle to meet its 2030 targets.

Planet Tracker’s report reveals a stark reality: globally, 91% of plastic is not recycled.
