Rotting Food Is Supercharging the Climate Crisis
Original: Rotting food is supercharging the climate crisis.
The United Nations is warning that food waste rotting in landfills has become a major driver of climate change, releasing large amounts of methane as it decomposes. The message highlights how discarded food ranks among the biggest sources of greenhouse gas emissions, and calls for cutting waste across supply chains and households as part of global climate action.
Why now: The UN is drawing fresh attention to food waste's outsized role in methane emissions and global warming.
