<p>The sustainability of life on Earth is under increasing threat due to human-induced climate change. This perilous change in the Earth's caused by increases carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases atmosphere, primarily emissions associated with burning fossil fuels. Over next two three decades, effects change, such as heatwaves, wildfires, droughts, storms, floods, are expected worsen, posing greater risks human health global stability. These trends call for implementation mitigation adaptation strategies. Pollution environmental degradation exacerbate existing problems make people nature more susceptible In this review, we examine current state from different perspectives. We summarize evidence Earth’s spheres, discuss emission pathways drivers analyze impact health. also explore strategies highlight key challenges reversing adapting change.</p>

Dietary Change and Global Sustainable Development Goals

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 6

Опубликована: Июль 8, 2022

Food production for human consumption is a leading cause of environmental damage in the world and yet over two billion people suffer from malnutrition. Several studies have presented evidence that changes dietary patterns across can lead to win-win outcomes social sustainability complement ongoing technological policy efforts improve efficiency agricultural production. However, existing been compiled “silos” by large range researchers several disciplines using different indicators. The aim this quantitative review bring together knowledge on heterogeneity current how transition toward healthy diets countries aid progress multiple global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We first summarize nutritional quality, economic cost, footprint 150 Next, we which shifts regions help achievement SDG2 (Zero hunger), SDG3 (Good health wellbeing), SDG 6 (Clean water sanitation), SDG13 (Climate action), SDG14 (Life below water), SDG15 land). Finally, briefly discuss enable shift sustainable identify research data gaps need be filled through future efforts. Our analysis reveals change necessary all as each one has unique priorities action items. For such Sub-Saharan Africa South Asia, increased intake nutrient dense foods needed address deficiency essential nutrients like folate, potassium, vitamin A. North America Europe, shifting more plant-based would healthier simultaneously reduce per capita footprints. results useful policymakers designing country-specific strategies adoption behaviors food industry ensure supply items customized with regions' need.

Research on the impacts of dietary patterns human and planetary health is a rapidly growing field. A wide range metrics, datasets, analytical techniques has been used to explore role choices/constraints in driving greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, environmental degradation, disease outcomes, affordability food baskets. Many argue that each domain important, but few have tackled all simultaneously analyzing diet-outcome relationships.

Optimising diets to reach absolute planetary environmental sustainability through consumers

Sustainable Production and Consumption, Год журнала: 2021, Номер 28, С. 877 - 892

Опубликована: Июль 6, 2021

The environmental impacts of food are currently at unsustainable levels. Consumers undoubtedly play a central role in reducing the system to more sustainable levels via dietary changes and waste reduction. Mathematical optimisation is one approach identifying less environmentally impactful patterns. A limited number studies, however, have assessed whether impact reductions offered by optimised diets enough remain within planetary boundaries (i.e. attain 'absolute' sustainability). Using UK consumption as case study, here we employ linear programming identify nutritionally adequate that meet sociocultural acceptability criteria whilst minimising (a) transgressions their allocated share safe operating space (SoSOS) for nine (PBs), (b) cost, or (c) deviation from current diet. We show diet it transgresses six seven PBs, depending on SoSOS allocation principle. Optimising minimum yields offering significant (66 - 95% reduction across all PBs) compared average pattern, but they completely mitigate depends sharing principle adopted assign national consumption. Additionally, comparing least-cost least-transgression solutions, find trade-off between cost sustainability indicating patterns not incentivised relative prices items UK. Our work demonstrates value embedding so solutions inherently provide clear-cut understanding broad implications environment.
