Progressive climate targets include 16 kg of meat per year

An international Climate Change *Thought Leadership* report was issued, with Progressive and Ambitious targets.

To reduce Climate Change, of course.

*Progressive* targets for 2030 include:

● 16 kg of meat consumption per person per year
● 90 kg of dairy consumption (milk or derivatives) per person per year
● 8 new clothing items per person per year
● Reduce ownership of vehicles to 190 per 1,000 people
● Reduce number of short haul air flights to 1,500 km every 2 years per person

*Ambitious* targets for 2030 include:

● 0 meat consumption
● 0 dairy consumption (milk or derivatives) per person per year
● 3 new clothing items per person per year
● 0 private vehicles
● Reduce number of short haul air flights to 1,500 km every 3 years per person

And this is just scratching the surface of the report.

It’s totally insane.

========================

“The Future of Urban Consumption in a 1.5°C World.”

“This report by C40, Arup and the University of Leeds assesses the impact of urban consumption on climate breakdown and explores the type and scale of changes needed to ensure that C40 cities reduce their GHG emissions in line with internationally agreed, climate-safe limits.

… The wide range of action required to achieve a 1.5°C scenario leaves little room for delay or failure over the coming decade; other broad, supporting policies can provide a safety net by bringing about complimentary emission reductions.

Examples of such policies are a wide deployment of carbon capture and storage (CCS), particularly in industries that emit direct emissions, and carbon pricing mechanisms that can underpin action across entire economies and markets.

However, even deeper paradigmatic shifts may be relevant, such as adopting more useful measures of societal development than just economic growth.

In practice, no one city or nation will follow the exact same emissions reduction pathway, but
● this report provides direction on the type, scale and timescale of policies that will need to be implemented …”
