In 2018, worldwide food-related greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions amounted to **** billion metric tons of CO2e. However, they would decline if meat-eaters followed a vegan diet. In case of a penetration rate of ** percent, emissions would decrease by ** percent, going to **** billion metric tons of CO2e. If ** percent of the meat-eating population did not consume any animal products, emissions would go down to nearly *** billion metric tons of CO2e.
