One-third of all food across the world is wasted. Food waste contributes to climate change, greenhouse gas emissions and the misuse of land, energy and water.

Experts including researchers at the university, screened nearly 7,000 studies from across the globe to develop a list of the most effective changes to household consumption to cut carbon footprints.

The central estimate of the remaining carbon budget for 1.5°C is 130 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide and will be exhausted in a little more than three years at current levels of emissions.

New research combines climate modelling with fossil shell analysis to understand what a warm future could be like over Western Europe.

A new study has mapped the full scale of a vast region of peatland in the heart of the Congo Basin, revealing it to be 15% bigger than previously thought.
