Changes in global food consumption increase GHG emissions despite efficiency gains along global supply chains

Published:June 2023

Author(s):Yanxian Li, Honglin Zhong, Yuli Shan, Ye Hang, Dan Wang, Yannan Zhou, and Klaus Hubacek

Publisher:Nature Food

This peer-reviewed article uses trade and emissions intensity data to attribute fluctuations in consumption-based emissions of food to factors such as trade structure, per capita consumption, and emissions intensity of food products. Read More →

Localized Strong Warming and Humidification Over Winter Japan Tied to Sea Ice Retreat

Published:June 2023

Author(s):K. Tamura, T. Sato

Publisher:Geophysical Research Letters

This peer-reviewed study uses temperature data in Japan, sorted by atmospheric pressure, to identify a strong warming pattern over Japan during winter months, linked to decreases in sea ice in the Sea of OkhotskRead More →
