THE BRIEFING

 * Flying domestically and driving alone are the most carbon-intensive travel
   methods
 * Taking a train instead of a short flight could reduce your emissions by 84%


THE CARBON FOOTPRINT OF TRANSPORTATION

As concern about climate change has grown, individuals are becoming increasingly
conscious of their impact on the environment.

Transportation emissions often make up the largest portion of our individual
carbon footprints. For that reason, evaluating transport options is a natural
place to start, whether it is for a daily commute or a leisure trip abroad.

So, what’s the most eco-friendly way to go from one place to another?

The above infographic charts the carbon footprint of transportation per
passenger-kilometer for different vehicles based on data from the UK
Government’s methodology paper for greenhouse gas reporting.

Editor’s note: Because the original labels in the study are very UK-specific, we
have changed the copy of some of the labels to better suit an international
audience.


PLANES, TRAINS AND AUTOMOBILES: HOW CARBON FOOTPRINTS COMPARE

The carbon footprint of transportation is measured in grams of carbon dioxide
(CO2) equivalents emitted per person to travel one kilometer. This includes both
carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases.

Here’s how the carbon cost of travel compares for different means of transport:

Means of TransportCO2 equivalent emissions per passenger km Short Flight ✈️ 255g
Medium Car (Gasoline) 🚗 192g Medium Car (Diesel) 🚗 171g Medium Flight ✈️156g
Long Flight ✈️ 150g Bus 🚌 105g Medium Motorcycle 🏍 103g Gasoline Car (Two
Passenger) 🚘 96g Medium Electric Vehicle 🚙 53g National Rail 🚂 41g Ferry ⛴
19g Eurostar (International Rail) 🚞 6g

Flying on a short flight or driving alone are the most carbon-intensive travel
methods. However, adding one more passenger to your car ends up cutting the
emissions in half, making driving more efficient.

Specifically, it’s worth breaking down categories of flights more, as their
emissions depend greatly on their route length:

 * Short Flights: For example, domestic flights within a European country, or
   flights within a U.S. state have the highest individual carbon footprint.
 * Medium Flights: For example, international travel within Europe, or between
   U.S. states, have a significantly lower carbon footprint per person.
 * Long Flights: Flights over 3,700 km (2,300 mi), about the distance from Los
   Angeles to New York, have the lowest carbon footprint per person.

Why are longer flights far more eco-friendly than short-range flights? It’s
because take-off uses much more energy than the ‘cruise’ phase of a flight. For
short flights, the efficient cruise phase is relatively short-lived.


SHRINKING YOUR TRAVEL FOOTPRINT

As the world works to mitigate the impact of climate change, people may want to
identify and potentially reduce their daily carbon footprint. And choosing your
method of transportation is one way to do so.

Of course, walking, biking, or running are the lowest-carbon ways to go from one
place to another. But car-sharing can also reduce emissions, as can switching to
electric vehicles or public transport.

Over medium-to-long distances, trains are the most eco-friendly option, and for
short-range domestic travel, driving is better than taking a flight. But as some
countries are bigger than others, always consider the total distance you need to
travel, and the breadth of options you have available.

RUSSIA HAS BEEN SUSPENDED FROM THE UN HUMAN RIGHTS COUNCIL

Here’s how the global community voted on the resolution: In favor – 93 |
Abstained – 58 | Against – 24

THE BRIEFING

 * 93 countries voted in favor of suspending Russia from the UN’s Human Rights
   Council, including all NATO member countries
 * 24 countries voted against the resolution, including; China, Iran, and North
   Korea


RUSSIA HAS BEEN SUSPENDED FROM THE UN HUMAN RIGHTS COUNCIL

On April 7, 2022, the United Nations suspended Russia from its seat on the Human
Rights Council.

This suspension comes amid growing condemnation of Russia over alleged civilian
murders committed by Russian troops in Ukraine. Widely distributed videos appear
to show the bodies of civilians scattered along the streets in the Ukrainian
town of Bucha.

To be approved, the resolution required a two-thirds majority of assembly
members that vote “yes” or “no”. Here is a complete list of how countries voted:

and BarbudaIn favor AlbaniaIn favor✔️ Armenia--✔️ AngolaAbstained ArgentinaIn

Not surprisingly, all NATO countries voted in favor of suspending Russia from
the Council. This includes Turkey, which has taken a more neutral stance than
other allies since the invasion began. Altogether, 93 countries voted for the
resolution.

On the other side, 24 countries voted against the resolution. China is perhaps
the most significant “no” vote, citing a lack of openness and transparency in
the process. Of course, Russia itself voted against the resolution.

A number of countries abstained from voting, most notably, India. Leading up to
the vote, Moscow indicated that even an abstention would be viewed as an
“unfriendly gesture” with consequences for bilateral ties.

This suspension adds to the list of actions taken against Russia—including heavy
sanctions—as the country becomes more isolated from the international
community—particularly Western nations.


WHAT DOES THE UN HUMAN RIGHTS COUNCIL DO?

The United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) is a UN body whose mission is to
promote and protect human rights around the world.

The Council investigates breaches of human rights in UN member states and member
countries address big picture human rights issues.


HOW DOES THE UN HUMAN RIGHTS COUNCIL WORK?

The Council consists of 47 members, elected yearly by the General Assembly for
staggered three-year terms.

Using the UN regional grouping system, members are selected to represent a
diverse and fair mix of countries from around the world. Until its suspension,
Russia was one of the two countries representing Eastern Europe, along with
Ukraine.

Members are eligible for re-election for one additional term, after which they
relinquish their seat.

Correction: An earlier version of this graphic had a Colombian flag in the
“abstain” section. It has been replaced with the correct flag, Cambodia. Austria
was also erroneously grouped with NATO countries.

HOW MUCH PRIME REAL ESTATE COULD YOU BUY FOR $1 MILLION?

Is $1 million enough to buy you a luxury home? As this infographic shows, the
answer varies greatly from city to city.

Published

THE BRIEFING

 * Housing affordability can vary significantly from city to city
 * $1 million USD can buy over 6 times more space in Dubai than in Hong Kong


HOW MUCH REAL ESTATE COULD YOU BUY FOR $1 MILLION?

“There are three things that matter in property: location, location, location”

Those are words from Harold Samuel, a British real-estate mogul from the 1900s.
Broadly speaking, it’s a quote that still holds true—property values in the
world’s best cities have always been worth a pretty penny.

The scarcity of real estate is driven by trends such as urbanization, which is
the migration of people into cities. While the first examples of cities were
built thousands of years ago, it was only recently that the majority of the
population began to live in them. In fact, the urban population just overtook
the rural population for the first time in 2007.

Of course, certain cities simply hold more appeal for wealthy people, and as a
result, competition in the prime real estate market can be fierce.

To learn more about the sky-high cost of prime property in cities, this
infographic visualizes data from Knight Frank’s Prime International Residential
Index (PIRI 100).


WHAT’S A MILLION DOLLARS GOOD FOR?

The following table lists the number of square feet that you could buy with one
million dollars in various cities. We’ve included more cities on this list than
in the graphic to create a more comprehensive comparison.

CityCountrySquare feet of prime property for $1 million (USD) Monaco Monaco157
Hong Kong China229 London United Kingdom329 New York United States358 Singapore
Singapore381 Geneva Switzerland399 Sydney Australia446 Shanghai China452 Los
Angeles United States454 Paris France455 Beijing China601 Tokyo Japan692 Berlin
Germany786 Miami United States833 Melbourne Australia907 Madrid Spain1,136
Mumbai India1,164 Dubai UAE1,469 Cape Town South Africa2,363 São Paulo
Brazil2,759

Monaco, the most expensive city on this list, is incredibly land-constrained
with an area of just 0.78 square miles. For context, New York’s Central Park is
1.31 square miles in size.

In second place is Hong Kong, which has become notorious for its difficult real
estate market. Just 7% of the city is zoned for residential use, which pushes
many of its citizens into sub-100 square feet micro apartments. These housing
units offer grim living standards and are often referred to as “coffin homes”.

On the other side of the spectrum, Hong Kong recently set the record for the
most expensive home in Asia. A 3,378 square foot penthouse sold for $59 million
in 2021, translating to $17,500 per square foot.


WHAT IS PRIME REAL ESTATE?

You may be wondering what prime real estate is.

Knight Frank defines it as “the most desirable and expensive property in the
area, generally defined as the top 5% of the market by value.” This suggests
that the prices visualized above are on the upper end of the scale, and that
more attainable homes are available.

the 20 largest cities in the world.
