Doom-and-gloom climate change scenarios tend to dominate news headlines, but a new report out of Harvard suggests it\u2019s not too late to reach our collective climate goals and avoid global warming catastrophe. Success, however, hinges on one critical caveat: We must act quickly to change the way we produce and consume food, by moving away from animal agriculture and toward plant-centered diets.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Findings from the report, co-authored by a team of academics and published by Harvard Law School\u2019s Brooks McCormick Jr. Animal Law & Policy Program, are based on a survey of 210 climate scientists, researchers, and food system specialists from 48 countries. They agree that to meet Paris Agreement targets\u2014including rolling back greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to pre-2019 levels by 2030\u2014an accelerated shift away from animal agriculture and toward low-carbon, plant-based alternatives is…<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
