What food production stakeholders are doing across the supply chain to lower GHG emissions In order to prevent […]

In order to prevent the worst effects of climate change from happening, the global temperature cannot increase more than 1.5 degrees C above pre-industrial levels. With the global temperature already 1.1 degrees C warmer than it was in the late 19th century, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions must be reduced by 45% by 2030 and reach net-zero by 2050 to stay below the 1.5 degree C threshold, according to the Net-zero Coalition.
In broad terms, reaching net-zero means negating GHG emissions produced by human activity to as close to zero as possible, with any remaining emissions re-absorbing into the atmosphere, oceans and forests.
Deriving more energy from renewable sources like wind and solar have the greatest potential for reducing GHG emissions worldwide, however, achieving net-zero by 2050 will require more than green energy solutions. It’ll take...
