Two of the report\u2019s cited academics, Paul Behrens and Matthew Hayek, claim the report downplays the potential of dietary changes to reduce agricultural emissions \u2013 which make up about a quarter of total emissions \u2013 and includes double-counting and outdated data. These errors have led to an underestimation of emissions savings by a factor of six to 40. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>No response from the FAO:<\/strong> Despite raising these issues, the FAO has not adequately addressed them, responding only through a brief webinar. A joint letter, signed by 78 environmental groups, calls for the FAO to adopt higher scientific standards, but the organization has yet to formally address the criticisms. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\">\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\">THE SCORECARD- <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Nearly <\/strong><strong>USD 2 tn has been allocated globally for clean energy investments since 2020<\/strong>, with China, the EU, and the US leading the way, according to a new <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/2024\/9\/2259.pdf\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">report (pdf)<\/a> by the International Energy Agency. Key areas of investment include low-emissions vehicles, hydrogen, and batteries. Policies including the US Inflation Reduction Act and India\u2019s Production-Linked Incentive played an important role in the surge in funding almost triple the amount committed after the 2007-08 financial crisis.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Policies are also seeing a surge: <\/strong>The report also notes an increase in trade policies and domestic manufacturing incentives to boost clean energy supply chains. Nearly 200 new trade measures have been introduced since 2020, compared to less than 40 in the previous five years. Energy performance standards have also seen growth, with 35 countries passing new regulations in 2023 alone. Despite some rollbacks in regulations, the overall trend indicates a strong global commitment to clean energy.<\/p>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-md-12 subscribe-box-panel\">\n<div class=\"\">\n<div class=\"title\">\n<h4 class=\"fw-lighter mb-10\">   Get <b style=\"font-weight: 700\">Enterprise<\/b> daily   <\/h4>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"mb-10\">The roundup of news and trends that move your markets and shape corporate agendas delivered straight to your inbox.<\/p>\n<p>  <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"climate\/en\/user\/NewsLetters\" type=\"button \" class=\"btn-green px-3 d-flex align-items-center\" rel=\"noopener\">Subscribe here<\/a>  <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\">***<br \/><strong>YOU\u2019RE READING EnterpriseAM Climate, the essential MENA publication for senior <\/strong><strong>execs who care about the world\u2019s most important industry. <\/strong>We\u2019re out Monday through Thursday by 9am in Cairo and Riyadh and 11am in the UAE.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>EnterpriseAM Climate is available without charge <\/strong>thanks to the generous support of our friends at HSBC and Infinity Power.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Were you forwarded this email? <\/strong><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/climate\/en\/user\/news-letters\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Tap or click here<\/a> to get your own copy of Enterprise Climate.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Want to send us a story idea<\/strong>, request coverage, ask for a correction, or otherwise get in touch?

Bridging the \u2018say-do gap\u2019 \u2014 the inconsistency between consumers expressing concern about climate change and their actual purchasing behaviour \u2014 is essential to shift consumer behaviour towards sustainable practices. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\">(<strong>** Tap or click the headline above to read this story with all of the links<\/strong> to our background and outside sources.)<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Why does this matter? <\/strong>Household consumption accounts for about 60% of global GDP, making it the largest component alongside investment, government spending, and net exports. Consumption alone represents over USD 14 tn annually in the US and is responsible for 70% of the environmental impacts related to housing, transport, and food. Changes in consumer choices can significantly impact both global GDP and carbon emissions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>What is behind the gap?<\/strong> Several factors prevent consumers from making more climate-conscious choices including financial constraints, perceived inferior quality of green products, and the effort required to make sustainable choices. Poor communication of green product attributes and a lack of trust due to greenwashing also contribute to reluctance.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The gap won\u2019t be easily bridged:<\/strong> Awareness of climate change risks is important in driving environmentally conscious behaviour as it can increase consumers' concerns about their carbon footprint. However, the correlation between environmental awareness and pro-environmental behaviour is relatively low, averaging around 0.3, indicating that awareness alone may not be sufficient to drive significant behavioural change. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>So what can be done?<\/strong> Overcoming barriers such as price, perceived performance, and trust requires effective communication, improved product experiences, and verification of green claims. Transparency and authenticity in corporate sustainability efforts can also help build consumer trust and encourage the adoption of climate-friendly products.<\/p>\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content
