Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action
Third Report of the Citizens' Assembly: Discussion (Resumed)
2:00 pm
Professor Valérie Masson-Delmotte:
I will be brief. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, IPCC, is also preparing a special report on climate change and land. It will be released next August. It is currently under expert and government review. It includes aspects related to food systems, food and nutrition, including the mitigation potential of healthy diets. There are multiple types of healthy diets with various environmental co-benefits, including for climate but also biodiversity preservation. My remark on that is that it is deeply related not just to local and national aspects but to global trade. There is a key issue in addressing climate policies within trade systems.
