Agriculture is expanding faster into grasslands, savannas & wetlands than forests—but these ecosystems are often being overlooked by companies. @WorldResources and @AcctFramework experts explain what this means for companies, via @Reuters : gfw.global/vVCEpV

📢 Today, GHG Protocol launches the Land Sector and Removals Standard, its first global framework for accounting emissions and CO₂ removals from agriculture and land use. This fills a major gap in corporate climate accounting. Explore the full Standard: bit.ly/4k8qzRd

🤔Can beef ever truly be carbon-neutral? Find out: go.wri.org/beef-emissions… @WRIFood's latest research shows beef production requires vastly more land than other proteins. And that land carries a massive carbon opportunity cost. At present, it's nearly impossible to verifiably lower beef emissions without simply sourcing less of it.

New @WorldResources research challenges 'carbon neutral' beef certifications. Join our experts Feb 3 / 10 AM ET to explore why sourcing lower-impact beef remains challenging—and what food companies can do now to reduce emissions. Register to attend: bit.ly/3ZFNg5L

There's no such thing as climate-friendly beef—despite growing "net zero" labels. New @WorldResources research reveals why: it's about the land. Beef needs 3x more cropland per kg of protein than eggs, pork, chicken – and 7x more than beans. Read more: bit.ly/3LkkDI6
