The Gap Is Closing — But Progress Just
Stalled

How this was made: these numbers were researched and drafted by an AI model with web search, from a single topic prompt, then reviewed by a person before publishing. Every figure should trace back to a source the model actually cited — if one looks wrong, it might be. A Sankey's flows are checked to balance before publishing, but that only catches arithmetic, not a bad source. Treat this the way you'd treat any single research pass: a strong starting point, not a peer-reviewed one.
