Implementing climate menu labels in university settings: a narrative review.

ABSTRACT: Global food systems are a major contributor to climate change, accounting for more than 30% of greenhouse gas emissions (GHGEs). This review synthesizes current evidence on the potential of climate labels (which we define as labels attached to menus or food items with climate impact information) in university dining settings to encourage climate-friendly food decisions.
