Supplementary data for "Analysis and valuation of the health and climate change cobenefits of dietary change"

Summary

This supplementary dataset accompanies a modelling study examining the simultaneous health and climate benefits of dietary transitions away from energy-dense and resource-intensive foods. The work, led by Marco Springmann at Oxford, as suggested by the 2016 date, quantifies how shifts towards plant-forward diets could reduce non-communicable disease burden whilst lowering agricultural emissions. The dataset supports evidence-based policy discussion on food system sustainability and public health alignment.

UK applicability

The findings are directly relevant to UK dietary and climate policy, particularly given the UK's commitment to net-zero emissions and rising obesity and diet-related disease burden. The quantitative framework could inform UK food-based dietary guidelines and agricultural climate action strategies.

Key measures

Health outcomes (as suggested by mortality, disease burden, or disability-adjusted life years); climate metrics (greenhouse gas emissions or carbon footprint); economic valuation of cobenefits

Outcomes reported

The study analysed and valued the health and climate change cobenefits associated with shifts in dietary patterns. Supplementary data likely present quantified assessments of mortality reduction, disease burden, and greenhouse gas emissions across dietary change scenarios.
