The principal motivations for the worldwide trend towards reducing meat consumption are health, the environment and animal welfare.
This paper assesses the influence of land development patterns on intra-urban thermal variation in a densely-developed subtropical city, considering joint effect from greenspace pattern and built-up g
Meat consumption has been increasing since the 1960s, but especially from the 1980s decade to today.

This book chapter addresses goals 14, 13 and 6 by looking at climate change and the threats to deep sea benthic habitats.
Climate change is reshaping the comparative advantage of regions and hence driving migration flows, principally toward urban areas.
Entomophagy is increasingly seen as a potential solution to provide a sustainable source of protein. However, the attitude of Western consumers towards insect-based products is generally negative.
