…the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) “notes that, while eliminating fossil fuels is the first priority, land- and diet-based solutions could provide a quarter of world’s urgently needed emissions cuts… Many of the food-system and forestry solutions laid out in the report are also ready to be deployed right now at a low cost, the authors note.
