Land use, water use and greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to global warming all affect the environment. The report, issued in conjunction with EAT Forum, also called for curbing food waste, a major source of greenhouse gas emissions, and improving agriculture so it lessens deforestation and reduces water use.

The British think-tank Sandbag claimed the deforestation induced by wood’s high demand will cancel out the benefit of not burning coal, thus boosting climate change rather than mitigating it. Since then, gallons of water flowed under the bridge and the H 2 O-derived renewable energy evolved into two major outputs: hydropower and ocean energy.
