UN warns rotting food is supercharging climate crisis
Original: Rotting food is supercharging the climate crisis.
The United Nations is warning that rotting food is a major driver of the climate crisis. Food waste in landfills produces methane, a greenhouse gas far more potent than carbon dioxide, and reducing food loss is increasingly cited as one of the fastest ways to cut emissions. The message is drawing attention to how much food is produced but never eaten worldwide.
Why now: A major UN message on food waste's climate impact is circulating widely, prompting fresh debate about waste reduction.
