). Across all global scenarios, the gross costs of a GDP-proportional payment are approximately double the gross costs of a flat US$5.50 payment. A tiered payment results in costs similar to the flat rate, except in the current PA scenario where it is nearly 50% greater.
In almost all geographic regions, the gross costs of GDP-proportional payments are greater than payments at the flat rate, except in South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa, where flat payments are greater . At a flat US$5.50 rate, the gross costs allocated to each region are proportional to the eligible populations, but when payments are GDP proportional or tiered, relatively wealthier regions such as East Asia and Pacific and Europe are the largest recipients.

How Food Companies Can Better Measure Their SustainabilityFood companies are struggling to effectively measure and report their environmental performance due to complexity and labor-intensity of data handling. Environmental traceability, through the use of digital technologies, can significantly streamline this process. Standardization of environmental metrics and automation of data exchange can facilitate comparable performance measures across companies and reduce data-entry workload. Furthermore, systemic changes and collaboration within food networks can lead to efficient and transparent environmental reporting. Integrating AI into decision-making processes can also help optimize environmental sustainability. Implementing these strategies can bolster environmental traceability, thus making food companies more sustainable and cost-effective.
