Eat-Lancet report recommended shift to more plant-based, climate-friendly diet but was extensively attacked online [...] The report recommended that if global red meat eating was cut by 50%, the “planetary health diet” would provide nutritious food to all while tackling the harms caused by animal agriculture, which accounts for over 14% of all greenhouse gas emissions worldwide. It suggested individuals – particularly in wealthy countries – should increase their consumption of nuts, pulses and other plant-based foods while cutting meat and sugar from their diets.

Dans le cadre de la transition énergétique, l’aviation se tourne vers des e-fuels nécessitant des volumes importants d’électricité bas carbone pour être produits. Or, cette électricité est bien moins taxée que l’électricité destinée à des besoins « primaires », tels que le chauffage ou l'éclairage, comme le détaille mon étude publiée dans Climate Policy(1).

As Malm and Carton explain, if firm policies were put in place to “leave fossil fuels in the ground”, stranding the assets of fossil fuel companies, there would be “layer upon layer” of value destruction.

It’s better to burn out than fade away…until it kills you.

COP29 in Baku, which finished last week, was crawling with fossil-fuel lobbyists determined to eke out profits for as long as possible. Shockingly, for a second year running, it is European governments that have facilitated access for a huge number of them.
