- Title
World Bank recipe for a climate-friendly food system: Cut meat subsidies.
- Authors
A. R.
- Abstract
A recent report by the World Bank suggests that redirecting subsidies for meat and dairy towards lower-carbon alternatives could help reduce the demand for environmentally harmful products. This shift in subsidies could potentially make plant-based products more affordable and competitive with meat. The report also highlights the need for increased investments in transitioning food systems to cut emissions and recommends that high-income countries provide more financial and technical support to lower-income countries. The World Bank released the paper as countries work to update their climate plans, emphasizing the urgency of addressing the impact of the food system on climate change.
