COP28 fails to address animal agriculture

At the recent COP28 summit, while strides were made in transitioning away from fossil fuels, a critical element was noticeably missing: addressing the role of animal agriculture in climate change. Our research shows that reducing meat consumption in Canada could significantly lower emissions, helping meet our 2030 climate goals. Despite this, COP28 overlooked the impact of factory farming on the environment.

We at World Animal Protection Canada are committed to advocating for a climate-friendly, humane food system, emphasizing the importance of sustainable agriculture in climate action plans. As we prepare for COP30, we continue to push for transformative changes in our food systems, benefiting our planet and all its inhabitants.
