LSHTM

This project looks at the effect greenhouse gas reduction policies will have on health in the UK, India, and China, with a specific focus on changing diets and their associated emissions. 

This is designed to model the effect of dietary change on climate and health using linear programming methods to define healthy diets and calculate their associated greenhouse gas emissions and health impacts.
