Brazil’s $125bn forest fund – framed as the “biggest thing to come out of COP30” – goes live tomorrow.

Critics point out that TFFF “puts private investors first”, forest payouts last + sets a 🌳 bar too low to be “scientifically credible”.

The latest EAT Lancet report finds that a global shift towards a "planetary health diet” 🥕🐟 could cut agri emissions by 15% by 2050

It proposes:

- A plant-based diet, limited intake of meat and dairy, and other foods

- Access to just food systems

- Inclusion of dietary cultural differences

I’ve spent months looking into GWP* - a way of measuring methane that has been labelled an 'accounting trick' by some and a fairer way to assess methane by others

This Q&A gets into all the science and spats about GWP* and the current situation in places like NZ and Ireland 🐮
