The Big Climate Database, version 1.1

With The Big Climate Database, CONCITO provides companies, authorities and citizens with free access to life cycle assessments of the climate impact of 503 of the most widespread foods. This background report describes the methodology, development, results and potential applications of the climate database.

What we eat and drink has a significant impact on the climate, and more plant-based diets, less beef and less food waste are some of the most important elements in reducing the climate impact of the world's food system.

Consumers as well as professional actors in the grocery and foodservice sector are increasingly demanding information about the climate footprint of the goods they buy and trade.

With The Big Climate Database, CONCITO gives companies, authorities and citizens free access to life cycle assessments of the climate impact of 503 of the most common foods on the Danish market via the website denstoreklimadatabase.dk/en.

The Big Climate Database is a unique tool that sheds light on the climate impact of changes in food consumption and can thereby contribute to promoting more climate-friendly food habits.The database is published by CONCITO in collaboration with 2.-0 LCA consultants, who have calculated the climate footprint of the food products.
