Global Greenhouse Gas Emissions Data.
On This Page: Global Emissions by Gas At the global scale, the key greenhouse gases emitted by human activities are: Carbon dioxide (CO2): Fossil fuel use is the primary source of CO2.
CO2 can also be emitted from direct human-induced impacts on forestry and other land use, such as through deforestation, land clearing for agriculture, and degradation of soils. Shut the Front Door! If We Ate Less Meat, This Is What Would Happen to the Planet. More and more studies are showing that consumption of animal products is one of the largest reasons for some pretty serious environmental issues today.
Saying nothing about the cruelties of the industry and the disastrous effects these food items can wreak on our personal health, consuming meat in the quantities that we do is impacting the environment on a global scale. Which makes it seem all the less likely that we, as individuals, can make a difference, right? Veganuary broke all records! Veganuary 2017 broke all records!
The campaign grew by 260% this year, with close to 60,000 people signing up to take the vegan pledge. Who took part? 23,000 omnivores took part this year – which is a massive win for the animals as these people eat the most animal products.25,000 people said they were vegetarian or pescetarian (people who are veggie, but also eat fish).10,000 identified as vegan – many of whom are new to the diet and sign up to receive extra support.
This is an important part of Veganuary’s work, as we know many people return to meat-eating without it. The gender divide. Veganuary - Veganuary 2017 broke all records! 59,500... Person icon. Meat by numbers. 82g The amount of protein the average Briton eats daily, of which 50g is meat, the equivalent of a chicken breast and lamb chop.

We also consume 36 sheep, 36 pigs and 550 poultry birds. Britons' meat consumption is now 50 per cent higher than it was 40 years ago. 500lb The amount of meat that is produced by the average cow.
UN says eat less meat to curb global warming. People should have one meat-free day a week if they want to make a personal and effective sacrifice that would help tackle climate change, the world's leading authority on global warming has told The Observer Dr Rajendra Pachauri, chair of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which last year earned a joint share of the Nobel Peace Prize, said that people should then go on to reduce their meat consumption even further.
His comments are the most controversial advice yet provided by the panel on how individuals can help tackle global warning. Pachauri, who was re-elected the panel's chairman for a second six-year term last week, said diet change was important because of the huge greenhouse gas emissions and other environmental problems - including habitat destruction - associated with rearing cattle and other animals. It was relatively easy to change eating habits compared to changing means of transport, he said. It’s Time to Put Meat on the Climate Negotiating Table. A global reduction in meat consumption could bring a quarter of the emissions reductions needed to meet the two-degree target at which dangerous climate change can be avoided.
Next month, governments from around the world will come together to agree a deal on how they will bring global greenhouse gas emissions down and avert dangerous climate change. By the time they meet, each country should have laid out its plans for reducing or slowing the growth in national emissions. Over 165 countries have put their intended nationally determined contributions (INDCs) on the table so far. Covering 93 per cent of global emissions, these INDCs paint a clear picture of where the two weeks of negotiations are likely to land. Americans should eat less meat, but they’re eating more and more. Fairtrade sales in UK rise 14% to £1.78bn.

Sales of Fairtrade gold sourced from artisanal small-scale gold miners, although still quite small overall, still increased five-fold in 2015. CEO of the Fairtrade Foundation Michael Gidney, said: “These figures show that British shoppers remain committed to Fairtrade, despite the turbulence in the grocery market. What is the Paris Agreement on Climate Change? What is COP21 – and why does it matter?
One of the biggest headlines to come out of last week’s G20 summit in China was the announcement that both China and the US had ratified the Paris Agreement on Climate Change. The announcement was significant, because the US and China are the world’s two biggest polluters. China is responsible for 20.09% of global emissions, while the US is responsible for 17.89%. What is the Paris agreement?

OMA's Imaginarium hosts lectures in Selfridges' basement. An events space designed by Rem Koolhaas' OMA has opened in the basement of London department store Selfridges, featuring a circular amphitheatre, vivid green columns and a stripy monochrome floor (+ slideshow).
