The food system must contribute to maintaining the 1.5-degree target set by scientists based on physics, mathematics, biology, and chemistry. The consequences of climate change are already evident and surpassing predictions made over the past 30 years.

Our food systems harm health and the planet, with over 30% of greenhouse gas emissions and a third of global disease burden. Shifting to healthier, plant-based diets can save 8 million lives yearly. WHO supports countries in improving diets and fighting climate change. 130+ countries signed COP 28 UAE declaration on climate and health to protect both people and the planet.

Achieving net zero emissions could have dire consequences, as at least 50% of the population relies on nitrogen-based fertilizer for survival. Banning this fertilizer, as some countries have done, would lead to widespread hunger and disease. The notion of saving the earth through such measures is seen as a disguised death wish, as the earth does not necessarily require saving.

In a few days, our planet's population will reach 8 billion, highlighting the importance of this climate conference. The question of what we did for our world and planet when we had the chance will be asked by future generations. This conference serves as a reminder that the responsibility lies with us, and time is running out. Greenhouse gas emissions continue to increase, global temperatures are rising, and we are approaching irreversible tipping points of climate chaos. We are currently on a dangerous path, accelerating towards climate disaster.

1 in 5 metric tons of carbon dioxide emitted by our city comes from food, with meat and dairy being the main contributors. A plant-based diet is not only beneficial for our health but also for the planet, as confirmed by a recent inventory.

Agriculture is responsible for about 33% of global emissions, which could rise to 26-33%. To achieve net zero, agriculture must be a key part of the solution. With a growing population of over 8 billion, emissions from the food system alone could cause an additional 0.5 degree of warming by mid-century. A two-degree future could lead to 600 million people facing food shortages. We cannot warm the planet and expect to feed it. To maintain a 1.5-degree limit, we must reduce emissions from the food system. Scientists, based on physics, mathematics, biology, and chemistry, have warned us about the consequences, which are already happening faster and bigger than predicted.

Our food systems contribute to greenhouse gas emissions and global disease burden. To address this, we need to shift towards healthier, plant-based diets. If we achieve this, we could save millions of lives annually. The World Health Organization (WHO) is committed to helping countries develop and implement policies for better diets and fighting climate change. It's encouraging that over 130 countries have signed the COP 28 UAE declaration on climate and health. Together, we can protect and promote the health of people and the planet.

In a few days, the world's population will reach 8 billion, highlighting the importance of this climate conference. The speaker emphasizes that we must be prepared to answer future generations when they ask what we did for our planet. The conference serves as a reminder that the responsibility lies with us, as greenhouse gas emissions continue to increase and global temperatures rise. Our planet is nearing irreversible tipping points, leading to climate chaos. The urgency to act is clear, as we are currently on a destructive path.

We're discussing the link between our food system and the climate crisis. While we often talk about emissions from vehicles and buildings, we now need to address the impact of beef production. A new emission inventory reveals that food is the third largest source of emissions in cities. A plant-based diet is not only beneficial for our health, but also for the planet. Therefore, we are committed to reducing city food emissions by 33% by 2030 and challenging our private sector partners to reduce by 25% by 2030. We believe that food should be appealing, delicious, and healthy. For those who are serious about cleaning up our environment, we must now prioritize this aspect.

Agriculture is responsible for a significant portion of global emissions, ranging from 26% to 33%. To achieve net zero emissions, agriculture must be a central part of the solution. However, with a growing population of over 8 billion people, emissions from the food system alone are projected to cause half a degree of warming by mid-century. This could result in 600 million people not having enough food in a two-degree future. We cannot warm the planet and expect to feed it simultaneously. To maintain a 1.5-degree limit, we must reduce emissions from the food system. Scientists, based on physics, mathematics, biology, and chemistry, have warned us about the consequences of exceeding this limit, which are already becoming evident and surpassing previous predictions.

We need to address the CO2 constraint as it is causing global warming. The equation is simple: more CO2 emissions lead to higher temperatures, resulting in negative effects like extreme weather and ecosystem collapses. The exact impact and severity are uncertain, but they will be extremely bad. Scientists confirm that we must reach near-zero emissions to stop the temperature rise. Currently, we emit over 26 billion tons of CO2 annually, with each American contributing around 20 tons and people in poor countries emitting less than 1 ton. To reach zero emissions, we need to focus on four factors: population, individual consumption, energy usage, and CO2 emissions per unit of energy. Population control could help, but even with improvements in healthcare and reproductive services, it may only reduce the increase by 10-15%.

John Kerry, the US special presidential envoy for climate, claims that emissions from the food system will contribute to a 3-degree increase in global temperature, rather than the desired 1.5 degrees. He emphasizes the need to reduce emissions from the food system to combat the climate crisis. However, critics argue that Kerry's statements are lies and that the world's climate has changed naturally in the past. Kerry urges civil society to push for change and emphasizes President Biden's commitment to addressing climate change. He believes that with the right choices, victory in this battle is possible.

Agriculture is responsible for around 33% of global emissions, making it crucial to address in order to achieve net zero. With a growing population of over 8 billion people, emissions from the food system alone are projected to cause half a degree of warming by mid-century. This could result in 600 million people not having enough to eat. We cannot warm the planet and expect to feed it simultaneously. To maintain a 1.5-degree limit, we must reduce emissions from the food system. Scientists, based on physics, mathematics, biology, and chemistry, have warned us about the consequences of not taking action. These predictions are already coming true, but at a faster and larger scale than anticipated.

Achieving net zero emissions could have dire consequences, as at least 50% of the population relies on nitrogen-based fertilizer for survival. Banning this fertilizer, as some countries have attempted, would lead to widespread hunger and disease. The notion of saving the earth through such measures is seen as a disguised death wish, as the earth does not necessarily require saving.

Cows are a significant source of global emissions, contributing about 6 percent due to methane, a potent greenhouse gas. It is essential to find ways to reduce the environmental impact of cows.

Our food systems are damaging the health of people and the planet. They contribute to a large portion of greenhouse gas emissions and global disease burden. To address this, we need to shift towards healthier, more diverse, and plant-based diets. If we achieve food systems that provide healthy diets for everyone, we could save millions of lives annually. WHO is dedicated to assisting countries in developing and implementing policies to improve diets and combat climate change. It is encouraging that more than 130 countries have signed the COP 28 UAE declaration on climate and health. Together, we can protect and promote the health of both people and the planet.

The colossal mistake of underestimating the death spreading agriculture and meat industry. Therefore the vast destruction of ecosystems by agriculture is also an important cause of abrupt climate change. Afterwards the death spreading agriculture practices will also release carbon stored in the soil. Abrupt climate change is in its turn also contributing very much to the destruction of ecosystems. In fact almost all previous mass extinctions were accomplished via the earth climate, oceanic and atmospheric systems. The speed of the change is probably a very important driver for the destruction rate of ecosystems. The faster the less nature will be able to keep up by adaptation or migration. Permaculture is the real and only way to go.

Achieving net zero emissions would lead to widespread hunger and disease as 50% of the population relies on nitrogen fertilizer for survival. Attempts to ban nitrogen fertilizer in countries like the Netherlands and Sri Lanka are seen as a misguided effort to save the earth, which does not necessarily need saving.

Food systems contribute to greenhouse gas emissions and global disease burden. Transforming food systems by promoting healthier, plant-based diets could save millions of lives annually. The World Health Organization (WHO) is dedicated to assisting countries in developing and implementing policies to improve diets and combat climate change. The speaker is pleased that more than 130 countries have signed the COP 28 UAE declaration on climate and health, emphasizing the importance of protecting and promoting the health of both people and the planet.

We must address the constraint of CO2 emissions as it is causing global warming. The equation is simple: more CO2 leads to higher temperatures, which in turn have negative effects. These effects include severe weather and ecosystem collapses. While there is some uncertainty about the exact relationship between CO2 and temperature, the consequences will be extremely detrimental. Despite asking top scientists if we can reduce emissions by half or a quarter, the answer is clear: we must reach near-zero emissions to stop the temperature from rising. Currently, we release over 26 billion tonnes of CO2 annually, with each American contributing around 20 tonnes and people in poor countries emitting less than 1 ton. The global average is about 5 tonnes per person, and we need to make significant changes to bring this down to zero.

Agriculture contributes 26-33% of global emissions, making it crucial to achieving net zero. With a population of over 8 billion, emissions from the food system alone could cause an additional 0.5 degree of warming by mid-century. This could lead to 600 million people facing food shortages in a two-degree future. To prevent this, we must reduce emissions from the food system to keep global warming at 1.5 degrees. Scientists, based on physics, mathematics, biology, and chemistry, have warned us about the consequences of exceeding this limit. Their predictions have been coming true faster and on a larger scale than anticipated.

We need to provide better tools to poor farmers to combat climate change. I became aware of this issue while visiting Africa and witnessing the devastating effects of temperature increase on crops, leading to malnutrition and increased deaths. By utilizing gene sequencing, AI, and satellite data, we can enhance the productivity and resilience of all crops, not just mainstream ones. This will greatly improve the lives of over 500 million farmers. Scaling up these improvements is crucial, and prioritizing high-impact interventions, similar to how we prioritize health interventions, is essential. Today marks a significant milestone in accelerating innovation for climate adaptation.

Agriculture is responsible for a significant portion of global emissions, ranging from 26% to 33%. To achieve net zero emissions, agriculture must play a central role in the solution. However, with a growing population of over 8 billion people, emissions from the food system alone are projected to cause half a degree of warming by midcentury. This could result in 600 million people facing food insecurity in a 2-degree future. To prevent this, we need to reduce emissions from the food system and strive to keep global warming within 1.5 degrees. Scientists have warned us about the consequences of exceeding this limit based on physics, mathematics, biology, and chemistry. These predictions are already coming true, but at a faster and larger scale than anticipated.

The goal of limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius is crucial, as even a small increase can have significant impacts. The Paris Agreement, signed by 193 parties in 2015, aims to keep temperature rise below this threshold. Currently, the planet is already 1.1 degrees warmer than pre-industrial levels. If temperatures rise by 1.5 degrees, 69 million people will be affected by rising sea levels, while 80 million will be affected at 2 degrees. Heat waves will impact 14% of the population at 1.5 degrees, increasing to 37% at 2 degrees. Additionally, biodiversity loss and extreme weather events will worsen. To achieve the 1.5-degree target, global emissions must be reduced by 45% by 2030 and reach zero by 2050. Immediate action is essential to minimize the worst effects of climate change.
