Mitigation actions are deeply interlinked with development priorities including public health, food security, rural development, and air quality. iGDP accelerates mitigation of key gases and pollutants, including methane, nitrous oxide, fluorinated gases, and black carbon. We promote systemic solutions across the energy, agriculture, industry, and waste sectors to advance mid-to-long-term climate and green transition objectives.<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div

It analyzes the uneven distribution of FLW across supply chain stages and food types, highlighting that while vegetables account for the largest share of losses, livestock products carry disproportionately high emissions intensity. The paper reviews China&#039;s evolving policy landscape, including the Anti-Food Waste Law and cold chain development initiatives, while identifying critical gaps in data infrastructure, sustainable cold chain coverage, and consumer behavior interventions. It explores the dual role of cold chain logistics\u2014reducing post-harvest losses while contributing significant energy-related and refrigerant emissions\u2014and assesses the potential of business innovations, public engagement, and food waste valorization to mitigate FLW. The paper calls for integrating FLW reduction into climate governance frameworks, proposing four priority pathways: establishing systematic FLW data systems, advancing sustainable cold chain solutions, strengthening circular utilization of food waste, and promoting green consumption patterns to unlock a cost-effective, high-potential climate mitigation opportunity.<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"info\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"span1\">Working Paper<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"date\">JUN 2026<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"picbox\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"pic\">\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/Screenshot-2026-08-07-at-12.58.09-PM-768x1084.jpg\" alt=\"Reducing Food Loss and Waste\">\n\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li data-igdp-resource-type=\"event\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"\/en\/events\/parallel-session-v-of-the-2026-methane-conference-methane-emission-reduction-in-the-waste-sector\/\" class=\"con\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"txt\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"tit\">Parallel Session V of the \u201c2026 Methane Conference\u201d: Methane Emission Reduction in the Waste Sector<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"desc\">On May 27, iGDP took part in Parallel Session V: Methane Emission Reduction in the Waste Sector, at the 2026 Methane Conference, co-hosted by the Climate Investment and Finance Association (CIFA), CECEP Consulting Co., Ltd., and the Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) Beijing Office.
