Read

18 11 24

This report highlights the significant mitigation potential of sustainable and healthy diets in China, and examines the extent to which changes in food consumption can have a positive impact on the environment, climate and human health. Across four models, it assesses the uncertainty ranges of future greenhouse gas emissions from the Chinese agricultural sector, and the potential impacts associated with the widespread adoption of healthy and sustainable diets. It offers several recommendations for implementation and for closing critical knowledge gaps to improve future assessments.
