Greenhouse gas emissions are a primary metric used to quantify environmental impact, as evidenced by their inclusion in the Agribalyse 3.1.1 database [1] and their role in energy development sustainability [2]. Furthermore, research studies and sustainability assessments frequently analyze the correlation between dietary choices and their resulting environmental impact through the lens of greenhouse gas emissions [3] [4].

measurementThe Agribalyse 3.1.1 database utilizes 14 specific metrics to assess environmental impact: greenhouse gas emissions (kg CO2 eq), exposure ionizing radiation (kg U235 eq), photochemical ozone formation (kg NMVOC eq), ozone depletion (Freon-11), emission of particulate matter (mortality due to particulate matter emissions), acidification (mol H+ eq), terrestrial eutrophication (mol N eq), freshwater eutrophication (kg P eq), marine eutrophication (kg N eq), freshwater ecotoxicity (CTUe), water use (m3 world eq), land use (loss of soil organic matter content in kg carbon deficit), fossils resource use (MJ), and metals and minerals resource use (kg Sb eq).
Sustainable Energy Transition for Renewable and Low Carbon Grid ... frontiersin.org 1 fact
claimReducing environmental impact in energy development requires lowering greenhouse gas emissions and minimizing the lifecycle environmental impact of energy systems, which can be achieved through waste recycling, treatment, and the adoption of clean technologies.

claimUsing FAOSTAT data to assess environmental sustainability can be misleading because livestock production has a greater role in greenhouse gas emissions than livestock consumption, and importing meat rather than producing it domestically can skew environmental impact calculations.
