Diets low in animal-sourced products reduce the risk of chronic diseases in adults and have a lower environmental footprint
Most types of so-called ‘sustainable diets’, including flexitarian, pescatarian, vegetarian and vegan, are likely to improve your health and have a positive impact on the environment, according to new research, published in Environmental Research Letters.
The study, led by the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, is the first systematic review addressing the effects on both health and the environment of shifting from current diets to various forms of sustainable diets.
The exact composition of sustainable diets varies greatly but they are typically low in animal-sourced food and high in plant-based food.
Climate change is hurting children s diets - study
VERMONT, January 29 (WNM/Environmental Research Letters) - A first-of-its-kind, international study of 107,000 children finds that higher temperatures are an equal or even greater contributor to child malnutrition and low quality diets than the traditional culprits of poverty, inadequate sanitation, and poor education. The 19-nation study is the largest investigation of the relationship between our changing climate and children s diet diversity to date. It is believed to be the first study across .

Commercial flights between New York and London could use less fuel if they make better use of the jet stream and satellite technology.

This is the conclusion of scientists at Reading University who found that transatlantic flights last winter could have used up to 16 per cent less fuel with better use of the fast-moving winds.
According to the team, new satellites will soon allow transatlantic flights to be tracked more accurately while remaining a safe distance apart. This could allow aircraft to be more flexible in their flight paths in order to more accurately follow favourable tailwinds and avoid headwinds. By doing so, the aviation sector could be presented with a cheaper and more immediate way of cutting emissions than through advances in technology.

For a long time, world economies have been powered by the combustion of fossil fuels that has also contributed to the accumulation of greenhouse gases and air pollution.

According to Penn State researchers, a new study of around 20 years of satellite data demonstrates that quality of air, fossil-fuel combustion, and economic growth are closely related on the national and continental levels, but can be decoupled nationally.
We know air pollution and economic development are linked, but we want to know how tightly and whether our actions can change this. We found they are not inherently bonded and can be decoupled under favorable policies.
