World falling far behind deforestation goals with farms and fires driving loss, report says

The world is falling far behind a global goal to reverse deforestation by 2030, with losses being largely driven by agricultural expansion and forest fires, according to the 2025 Forest Declaration Assessment.

The Global Tipping Points Report is clear: without urgent climate action, damage to nature could be irreversible. 🚨 But it's not too late to stop the destruction. Tell your MP we need action at #COP30 - for the Amazon, for nature, for our world. 🌎👉 https://ow.ly/C9nB50X9Fjg

Forests are vital for life on Earth, yet banks and agribusiness keep profiting from their destruction. Last year, 8 million hectares vanished, half the size of England. At #COP30 in the Amazon, leaders must act to end deforestation and make polluters pay. #RespectTheAmazon #MakePollutersPay

‘Planetary health diet’ could save 40,000 deaths a day, landmark report finds

‘Planetary health diet’ could save 40,000 deaths a day, landmark report finds

Diet allows modest meat consumption and would also slash food-related climate emissions by half, says report by 70 leading experts from 35 countries Adoption of a plant-rich “planetary health diet” could prevent 40,000 early deaths a day across the world, according to a landmark report. The diet – which allows moderate meat consumption – and related measures would also slash the food-related emissions driving global heating by half by 2050. Today, a third of greenhouse gas emissions come from the global food system and taming the climate crisis is impossible without changing how the world eats, the researchers said. Food production is also the biggest cause of the destruction of wildlife and forests and the pollution of water. Continue reading...
