Tridge summary

A report by the Danish government consultant, the Danish Council on Climate Change (DCCC), recommends that Danish citizens reduce meat consumption by two-thirds by 2030 to meet the country's climate goals. The government should also reduce carbon dioxide emissions to 30% of 1990 levels by 2030. The DCCC suggests taxing beef and other high-emission foods, and farming emissions to decrease beef production. Danes consume more meat than the world average, eating about 2.2 kilograms of meat per week, and the report suggests reducing this to 0.75 kilograms to save between 2.6 to 3.9 million tonnes of carbon dioxide a year. The report also recommends subsidizing the wind and solar energy industry and shutting down gas boilers in households to reduce emissions.
