The chart presents the distribution of transport modes for counterfeit pharmaceutical, based on the data from the OECD/EUIPO study on illicit trade in fake pharmaceuticals, published in 2020. The report builds on previous analyses of illicit trade, focusing on trade of counterfeit pharmaceuticals. In addition to possible economic damages for the sector, fake pharmaceuticals pose significant health risks, as often they are not properly formulated and may contain dangerous ingredients. The data highlighted that mail and courier services are the main modes of transport for counterfeit pharmaceuticals traded worldwide. In terms of volume, air is also an important means of transport in the global trade of fake pharmaceuticals. In terms of value, the main transport mode was by road transport and mail and postal services.

The chart presents the people perception of the accuracy of the information related climate change given by the media. The results are based on the responses of the survey question “To what extent do the news media do a good or bad job in giving me accurate information about climate change?” included in the “Reuters Institute Digital News Report 2020”. The report found that across markets around half (47%) say that the news media do a good job in providing accurate information about climate change. By contrast, the respondents saying the problem is not serious are far more likely to think the media are doing a bad job (46%) than a good job (16%). The seriousness of the climate change problem was assessed based on the answers to the survey question “How serious a problem, if at all, do you think climate change is?” (55693 respondents considered the problem “Extremely serious or Very serious”, while 6794 considered “Not very serious or Not serious at all”).

And that massive distributed content creation engine means that about 90% of the video, audio, photo, and text-based content consumed today by Gen Z is created by individuals, not corporations.
