Deforestation and Diets

Charlotte Streck, Co-founder and Director, Climate Focus

Deforestation and Diets

Just last month, international advisory company Climate Focus released three reports, which laid out how emissions from land use sector — with a focus on deforestation and diets — can be eliminated in a couple of decades, and quantified how much this could contribute to Paris Agreement goals. Joining us to share more is Charlotte Streck, the Co-founder and Director of Climate Focus, who will discuss why we need more and better climate finance, and why the choice to eat beef has a particularly large impact on climate, forests and soils.
