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

Summary

This record comprises supplementary data for Springmann's 2016 analysis quantifying the concurrent health and climate benefits of dietary change. The work models health outcomes (disease burden reduction, mortality) and climate mitigation (greenhouse gas emissions) arising from shifts towards lower-meat, plant-richer diets, with economic valuation of these cobenefits. As a supplementary dataset housed in the Oxford University Research Archive, it underpins a peer-reviewed publication examining dietary change as a joint lever for public health and climate change mitigation.

UK applicability

The findings are relevant to UK dietary and climate policy, particularly National Health Service burden reduction and the Committee on Climate Change dietary recommendations. However, direct transferability depends on whether the underlying study included United Kingdom-specific health and agricultural data; confirmation would require access to the primary publication.

Key measures

Disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) averted, greenhouse gas emissions reductions, economic valuation metrics, dietary composition scenarios

Outcomes reported

The supplementary data likely presents quantified health outcomes (mortality, morbidity burden) and greenhouse gas emissions or climate impacts associated with modelled dietary shifts towards plant-based or reduced-meat consumption patterns. Economic valuations of these cobenefits across different regions or populations are inferred from the title.
