Shifting diets could yield major improvements for climate and biodiversity. IIASA researchers found that replacing half of all main meat and milk products with plant-based alternatives by 2050 can reduce agriculture and land userelated greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 31% and halt the degradation of forests and natural land.

IIASA researchers used a new method to analyze the effectiveness of the Caribbean Catastrophe Risk Insurance Facility (CCRIF) with regard to its  ability to minimize the short-term fiscal effects of disasters.
