What’s in Store for our Planet: The Impact of UK Shopping Baskets on Climate & Nature - 2022
The global food system is responsible for more than 30% of total climate change emissions and 60% of biodiversity loss, and retailers – the bridge between those who produce our food and the consumers who eat it – have an essential role to play in reshaping that system. WWF is committed to working with them to do so.
In November 2021 we announced the WWF Basket- our ambition to halve the environmental impact of UK shopping baskets by 2030. We published outcomes and measures to define the targets the retail industry must work towards and explain how we’re measuring progress.
One year on, we are pleased to share our first report, showing how far the sector has come, how far it still has to go and providing our recommendations on how to get there.
