The good news about global food prices is they've come down from 2022 highs linked to the Ukraine war. The sobering bit? Despite declines, inflation-adjusted food prices have been stuck at levels on par with dramatic price spikes in 2007-08 and 2011-12. https://t.co/iXBNQ5LejH
The European Commission is set to recommend that the EU cut its net greenhouse gas #emissions by 90% by 2040, a target that Reuters says will test political appetite to continue Europe's ambitious fight against #ClimateChange ahead of EU elections. https://t.co/ztjCFwtW9r
Scientists cited by Bloomberg suggest 2023 #emissions will hit what the headline writer calls a "record peak". That raises a key question, though: Is it really a "peak" or have we only reached the lower slopes, with many metres still left to reach the top? https://t.co/cugAIu9W9X

As global debate over new weight loss drugs continues, this guest opinion in the Straits Times (originally from The Economist) from Swiss Re's John Schoonbee makes the case for why #nutrition and #physicalactivity remain key to tackling rising #obesity. https://t.co/LGLRcTqk3h
It's easy to lose track of all of the regions across the planet now suffering from #heatwaves. The US, Mediterranean countries and China come to mind. The WHO now wants countries to keep better track of those most vulnerable, to protect human #health. https://t.co/trKLqp6QGz
Heatwaves are a growing problem in cities, but there are simple solutions. Installing green spaces, planting more trees & painting buildings white can reduce urban temperatures & protect the community from dangerous #heatislands. https://t.co/DhHbxs7uqZ
#Obesity drugs expand our options. But this #Economist article from Swiss Re's John Schoonbee raises a key point: they arenβt a panacea. Rethinking nutrition and physical activity should anchor a sustainable approach to rescuing our #metabolic#health. https://t.co/EMdfLOrfTe
