Methodology for Climate-Friendly Foodservice

The proposed methodology quantifies the GHG emission reductions from a shift towards lower-emission foods (e.g., meat/dairy to plant-based options). Specifically, it quantifies procurement changes that result in meal offerings with fewer emissions intensity compared to a performance benchmark.

The proposed methodology is being developed by Verra in collaboration with Eaternity and is currently at “Step 3: Draft Methodology Development” of the Methodology Development and Review Process, 4.2 (PDF). 

Stakeholders interested in collaborating during methodology development or developing projects that this methodology might enable are encouraged to contact methodologies@verra.org. Please include the Methodology Development ID# M0169 in the subject line.
