Check out the latest edition of the sustainability factsheets produced by the Center for Sustainable Systems (CSS) at the University of Michigan School for Environment and Sustainability.
These factsheets focus on sustainability topics such as the built environment, climate change science and policy, energy, food and water systems, mobility, and more. The latest edition contains 32 factsheets, over 2,300 facts, and 138 graphics from over 1,000 sources.
- Did you know that by 2050, zero-emission vehicles such as battery electric vehicles, in conjunction with clean power grids, could lead to nearly $1 trillion in public health benefits in the US
- Over the past 50 years, US water consumption has tripled, and at least 40 states anticipate water shortages by 2024.
- Global solar photovoltaic capacity has grown nearly 750-fold since 2000.
