Reference news, June 22, foreign media said Chinese Government came up with a plan to reduce the meat consumption of its citizens, its 50%, climate change project supporters hope the move will have a major impact in their efforts to prevent global warming.
According to the United Kingdom, June 20, the guardian, new dietary guidelines drafted by the Chinese Ministry of health, the guidelines recommend said, China's 1.3 billion people should eat 40 grams of 75 grams of meat per person per day. The guide published once every 10 years, is designed to improve the health of the public, but may also provide opportunities for significant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.
Reports that China found an unusual ally in Hollywood celebrities, actors Arnold Schwarzenegger and Director zhanmushi·kameilun participated in a series of new public service ads, they encouraged the Chinese to eat less meat, good for the environment.
Once compliance with the new guidelines, by 2030, China's carbon dioxide emissions will be reduced by 1 billion tons.
Reported in the world, the Earth's climate-warming emissions, 14.5% from the feed and eat cows, chickens, pigs and other animals – more than the emissions from the transportation sector as a whole. Cattle release methane, which is an efficient greenhouse gas, and the ground clearance and fertilizers releases large amounts of carbon.
Countries to cope with climate change and international cooperation, said Li junfeng, Director of the Center for strategic studies: "this change in lifestyle, animal husbandry is expected to be in transition, emissions will be reduced. ”
"Solving climate change problems, involving scientific, political, corporate support, but ultimately depends on the public involvement, changing consumer behavior in China. Each of us must believe that low-carbon concept, and slow to adapt to it. ”
For many Chinese, the meat from the rare delicacy into the basic product. In 1982, the average Chinese consume 13 kilograms of fresh meat a year, and beef because of scarcity was nicknamed "millionaire."
Reports that China's rise as a global economic power, which completely changed the way people eat. Ordinary Chinese people now eat 63 kilograms of meat a year, if not to break this trend, by 2030, per capita meat consumption will increase to 30 kg. New dietary guidelines will reduce the annual per capita consumption of meat to 14 kg and 27 kg per year.
Reports that China is now consuming 28% of the world's meat, including half of the pork. However, per capita consumption of meat is concerned, China still lags behind more than 10 other countries, America and Australia who twice times the consumption per capita is the per capita consumption in China.
According to the wildlife rescue Association's new report, China's meat consumption predicted Delta will pose an additional 233 million metric tons of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere each year, putting more pressure on China's water supply. Because rivers and groundwater pollution, China's water supply has been disrupted.
The report warned that, unchecked, China's meat consumption would also land degradation and aggravate problems of obesity and diabetes in China. An estimated 100 million Chinese have diabetes, more than any other country.
This year, Martin Institute, University of Oxford scientists released a separate report found that wide acceptance of vegetarianism around the world you can greenhouse gas emissions by nearly two-thirds.
Zhanmushi·kameilun said: "China plans to reduce meat consumption by half, a move that will not only have a great impact on public health, or large-scale leadership initiatives, significantly reducing carbon emissions and achieve the goals set in the Paris agreement. ”
"Livestock emissions more than the sum of all traffic emissions. If we are going to limit the global warming trend in the 21st 2C standards established by the United Nations climate change conference, and so reduce the need for animal food is essential. ”

中国建议民众肉类消费减半 可减少碳排放|肉类|碳排放_新闻资讯
原标题：外媒：中国建议民众肉类消费减半 有助减少碳排放

参考消息网6月22日报道 外媒称，中国政府列出了一项计划，以减少其公民的肉类消费量，将其减少50％，气候变化项目支持者希望此举将在避免全球变暖的努力中产生重大影响。
据英国《卫报》网站6月20日报道，新的居民膳食指南由中国卫生部起草，该指南推荐说，中国13亿人口应该每人每天食用40克到75克的肉。该指南每十年发布一次，旨在改善公众的健康状况，但可能也为温室气体排放量的大幅减少提供了机会。
报道称，中国在好莱坞名流中找到了不同寻常的盟友，演员阿诺德·施瓦辛格和导演詹姆士·卡梅伦参与了一系列新公益广告，他们鼓励中国人少吃动物肉类，以有利于环境。
一旦遵循新的指南，那么到2030年，中国畜牧业的二氧化碳排放量将减少10亿吨。
报道称，在全球，使地球气候变暖的排放中，有14.5％来自饲养及食用牛、鸡、猪及其他动物——比整个交通部门的排放量还多。牲畜释放出甲烷，这是高效温室气体，而地面清理及肥料释放大量的碳。
国家应对气候变化战略研究和国际合作中心的主任李俊峰说：“通过这种生活方式的改变，预计畜牧业将转型，碳排放量将减少。”
“解决气候变化问题，涉及科学判断、政治决策、企业支持，但最终仍有赖于公众的参与，改变中国的消费行为。我们每一个人必须相信低碳概念，并缓慢适应它。”
对于许多中国人而言，肉类从珍稀佳肴变成了日常基本品。1982年，普通中国人每年仅吃13公斤肉类，而牛肉因为稀缺性被戏称为“百万富翁的肉”。
报道称，中国崛起成为全球经济大国，这彻底改变了人们的饮食。普通中国人如今每年食用63公斤的肉，如果不打破这种趋势的话，预计到2030年，人均肉类消费量还将增加30公斤。新的膳食指南将会使肉类人均年消费量减少到每年14公斤至27公斤。
报道称，中国如今消费了全世界28％的肉类，包括一半的猪肉。不过，就人均肉类消费量而言，中国仍落后于其他十多个国家，美国人和澳大利亚人人均消费量是中国人均消费量的两倍。
据野生救援协会的新报告，中国肉类消费量的预测增量将每年给大气层带来额外的2.33亿吨温室气体，也给中国的水供应带来更大压力。因为河流和地下水遭污染，中国的水供应已经受到破坏。
该报告警告说，中国不加以抑制的肉类消费量还将令其耕地退化，并加剧中国的肥胖和糖尿病问题。估计有1亿中国人患有糖尿病，比其他任何国家都多。
今年，牛津大学马丁学院科学家发布的另一份报告发现，在全世界广泛接受的素食主义可以使温室气体排放量减少近三分之二。
詹姆士·卡梅伦说：“中国拟将肉类消费量减半，此举不仅将对公共健康产生巨大影响，还是大规模的领导性举措，大幅降低碳排放，实现在巴黎协议中制定的目标。”
“畜牧业排放量比所有交通排放量的总和还多。如果我们打算将全球变暖趋势限制在第21届联合国气候变化大会制定的2C标准内，那么降低对动物类食物的需求至关重要。”
