Sustainable food cold chains reduce waste, fight climate change: UN report
GENEVA — Greater investment in sustainable food cold chains is needed to reduce hunger, provide livelihoods to communities, and adapt to climate change, two UN agencies said in a report published on Saturday.These systems are critical to maintaining the quality, nutritional value and safety of food, especially as an estimated 14 percent of all food produced for human consumption is lost before it even reaches consumers.The report by the UN Environment Program (UNEP) and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) was launched at the COP27 climate change conference under way in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt.“At a time when the international community must act to address the climate and food crises, sustainable food cold chains can make a massive difference,” said Inger Andersen, the UNEP...

Jeremy Hunt says he wants to make sure any recession is short and shallow
Hunt: Everyone will have to pay more tax
LONDON — Everyone will have to pay more tax under plans due to be announced on Thursday, Chancellor Jeremy Hunt says.Offering a message few ministers would risk saying out loud, Hunt told the BBC: “I’ve been explicit that taxes are going to go up.”He confirmed he would be giving details about further help for those struggling with energy bills, but warned there had to be constraints on help.Labour accused the Conservatives of making a “total mess” of the economy.Shadow chancellor Rachel Reeves said Hunt was choosing to tax working people, while doing “little to close tax loopholes which mean some of the wealthiest don’t pay their fair share”.Hunt was speaking to the BBC just days before he is due to deliver his tax and spending plans in Parliament as part of the Autumn...
