🤔Can beef ever be carbon-neutral? Find out: go.wri.org/beef-emissio...
Beef production requires vastly more land than other proteins. And that land carries a massive carbon opportunity cost.
At present, it's nearly impossible to verifiably lower beef emissions without simply sourcing less of it.

A new report from @worldresources.bsky.social confirms: the only sure way to cut beef’s climate impact is to produce and consume less of it.
The problem? Global demand just keeps climbing.
If we’re serious about climate progress, protein diversification isn't optional, it’s essential.

Despite ‘Carbon Neutral’ Certifications, Beef Emissions Can Be Lower, but Never Low
Research shows there’s no such thing as climate-friendly beef, despite labels claiming otherwise.

Land Use Changed the Climate. Now Climate’s Changing the Land
Land-use change has long been recognized as a major contributor to global warming. Deforestation and agriculture alone account for nearly 25% of human-caused greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
