Why is COP27 important?

How greenhouse gas emissions from rice can be minimised through regenerative production

The global food system generates 20-30% of greenhouse gas emissions, largely from production. Conventional rice production, a staple for over half the world, alone generates emissions equivalent to global aviation. The System of Rice Intensification (SRI) offers an agroecological solution.

SRI employs simple interventions to significantly reduce water use, methane, and chemicals, while boosting yields and cutting labor. Currently 4% of rice production, scaling SRI to 25% could reduce emissions equivalent to India's total output.

The Global Commitment 2022 Progress Report

The Global Commitment, led by the Ellen MacArthur Foundation and the UN Environment Programme, unites over 500 organizations in a shared vision for a circular economy for plastics. Companies representing 20% of global plastic packaging have committed to ambitious 2025 targets to tackle pollution at its source. Our latest report assesses their progress.

In light of these findings, we urge businesses to accelerate action, particularly in reuse, flexible packaging, and decoupling growth from packaging use. Governments must also act immediately to advance progress and promote high ambition in upcoming negotiations for a legally binding instrument on plastic pollution.
