As the UN climate summit in Paris draws to a close it has overlooked the dramatic impact that a simple diet shift could have on developed countries’ greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. If everybody in the UK adopted a Climatarian diet it could cut the national GHG -or carbon equivalent - emissions by nearly 10%. In the US the GHG savings could be nearly five percent(4).

Climatarian, a diet designed to help meat eaters cut their carbon footprint, could also help tackle world hunger and achieve United Nations’ sustainable development goals (SDG).
