#DYK poor cold-chain infrastructure could be responsible for up to 620 million metric tons of global food loss annually, resulting in 1.8 billion tCO2e of emissions. Fully refrigerated supply chains could cut food waste-related emissions of climate-warming greenhouse gases by 41% globally, a recent study reveals. https://lnkd.in/gD-BKT_R

Every year, around 13% of the world’s food is lost due to a lack of effective refrigeration. Expanding access to sustainable cold chains would not only reduce food loss and waste, it would also help cut greenhouse gas emissions. Improved cold chain infrastructure would also boost incomes for farmers and nutrition for consumers. To put it simply, we need global coverage of energy-efficient, climate-friendly cold chains if we are to achieve numerous development and climate goals.

Globally, 30-40% of all food is lost (i.e., never makes it to consumers) or wasted (i.e., thrown out) & contributes between 8-10% of all greenhouse gas emissions. To learn more, check out #FeedtheFuture 's new Food Waste and Loss Accelerator Hub: https://ow.ly/YF0050QjTaI

We are soon in deep water with water! Water scarcity will become an increasingly serious issue when climate change is altering the dynamics of water on the planet. The total amount of water will not change, but locally we can see much larger concentration of water, or lack of it, through floods, droughts and changed evaporation patterns. This is not only an issue of traditionally water scarce countries, but also an issue of established and wealthy economies. Further, 80% of wastewater globally is discharged into nature untreated (https://lnkd.in/dN3zycYH). Considering how efficiently water transfers different substances around the planet, like plastic waste, we should do everything in our power to change this status quo. A recent New York Times article highlights the worrying development in the US, where over half of the nations water wells have been in decline since 1940s (https://lnkd.in/dAfAe-ab). This is becoming a serious issue for the economy. Also in Germany, it has been reported, already for a decade, that water bodies are increasingly polluted and also regionally overused (https://lnkd.in/dpxi7SJt). Water is seen as a free to consume commodity, and regulation has not been quick enough to secure a high enough quality of discharged water. With all this in mind, we need to make an effort in using water more efficiently and releasing it back into nature so that it is clean enough. With existing and well known technologies we can remove larger size impurities from water, and there are options available also for removal or micro sized pollutants. We can harness our chemistry based and biological treatment technologies and we can optimize processes with data. We can replenish water at the source and improve efficiencies in our industrial and municipal processes to use just the right amount of water. We need to apply all the solutions we have to solve water scarcity and secure the discharge of clean enough water into nature. #wateraction #watertreatment #cleanwater #water #SDG6

🍽️ Food production is responsible for around 26% of our global greenhouse gas #emissions. You might wonder if different foods have varying carbon footprints, they do! 🥩 Beef comes in first place with a whopping 99 kilograms of CO2e per kilogram of the final meat product. And now we have one more reason to love our greens, they're also #climatefriendly! #climatesolutions #climateeducation #climateaction #climatechange

Reducing carbon emissions in the food and drink sector is typically harder than other types of manufacturing due to its energy-intensive heating and cooling processes. With today's consumers preferring sustainably produced goods, regulators and retailers are demanding emissions be cut to meet climate goals. Download your food and drink sector summary to learn how manufacturers can accelerate their path to net zero here: https://lnkd.in/eHy5dpyD. #ThisIsPositiveEnergy #NetZeroOpportunity

Dust Containment and Mitigation Solutions for Refrigeration and AC, Computer Cleaning , and Much More!
2wThis is off the radar screen: mere lack of coil cleaning and related servicing of refrigeration and AC contributes 0.5 Gt/year to global emissions which is about 1.3% of all emissions from all sources!: see Figure 1 in https://k-cep.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Optimization-Monitoring-Maintenance-of-Cooling-Technology-v2-subhead....pdf.
