Rotting food is supercharging the climate crisis
Original: Rotting food is supercharging the climate crisis.
The United Nations is warning that rotting food has become a major driver of the climate crisis. Food that is produced but never eaten decomposes in landfills, releasing methane, a greenhouse gas far more potent than carbon dioxide. The message adds to growing calls to cut food waste as a fast, low-cost way to reduce emissions and ease pressure on the planet's warming trajectory.
Why now: The UN is highlighting food waste as a major and often overlooked source of greenhouse gas emissions.
