Greenhouse gas emissions are the primary driver of global warming, as evidenced by the fact that their increase due to human activity is the most significant cause of the phenomenon [1]. Reducing these emissions is essential to mitigating global warming and meeting international climate targets, such as those set by the Paris Climate Agreement [2], [3], and [4].

measurementIf the dietary patterns of Africa and Asia were adopted globally, greenhouse gas emissions would be 60–75% above sustainable levels required to limit global warming to below 2°C.
claimThe 2021 Global Nutrition Report states that to reduce greenhouse gas emissions sufficiently to avoid dangerous levels of global warming, it is necessary to prioritize policy initiatives aimed at reducing the amounts of animal-based foods in human diets, a change that is also warranted on health grounds.
claimIf the dietary patterns of Northern America were adopted globally, greenhouse gas emissions would exceed the levels required to limit global warming to below 2°C by more than six times.
measurementIn 2018, global food-related greenhouse gas emissions exceeded the limit required by the Paris Climate Agreement to limit global warming to below 2°C by 74%.
measurementIf the dietary patterns of Oceania were adopted globally, greenhouse gas emissions would be more than five times above the target value required to limit global warming to below 2°C.

How governments address climate change through carbon pricing ... nature.com 4 facts
claimCarbon pricing policies, such as taxes and emission trading systems, are considered central instruments for limiting global warming because they provide households and businesses with economic incentives to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
claimCarbon pricing policies, including taxes and emission trading systems, serve as central instruments for governments to limit global warming by providing households and businesses with economic incentives to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
claimThe Paris climate agreement has a main objective to limit global warming to a level below 2 °C, which requires countries to adjust their policy portfolios to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

claimThe energy industry is the primary source of global greenhouse gas emissions, which significantly impact climate change and global warming.
claimThe most significant reason for global warming in the last century is the increase in greenhouse gas emissions in the atmosphere resulting from human actions and industrialization.
