Eat less meat: UN climate-change report calls for change to human diet
https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-019-02409-7?utm_source=Nature+Briefing&utm_campaign=b531c8e62d-briefing-dy-20190819&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_c9dfd39373-b531c8e62d-43832253

The report on global land use and agriculture comes amid accelerating deforestation in the Amazon.

Efforts to curb greenhouse-gas emissions and the impacts of global warming will fall significantly short without drastic changes in global land use, agriculture and human diets, leading researchers warn in a high-level report commissioned by the United Nations.

The special report on climate change and land by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) describes plant-based diets as a major opportunity for mitigating and adapting to climate change ― and includes a policy recommendation to reduce meat consumption.
