Yes! First major challenge globally against Big Dairy's Greenwash!

[Greenpeace PressDesk @greenpeacepress]

Today, @greenpeacedk is taking legal action against Arla – the Danish-Swedish multinational and one of the world’s largest dairy producers – for misleading consumers through deceptive climate reporting.

Yesterday, Greenpeace Brazil took on the world's biggest meat company, JBS, linked to Amazon and climate destruction as they met with shareholders! In a year where govts descend upon the Amazon at COP 30, it's time to #HoldTheLine #StopBigAg #RespectTheAmazon #JustTransition

🚨ACTION ALERT🚨⁣⁣
⁣
Over the last 24 hours, Greenpeace activists from a number of countries have paid a visit to some of the world's meat and dairy giants. ⁣

Industrial meat and dairy products are leaving a trail of destruction around the world.⁣

Greenpeace is taking action today to make Big Meat and Dairy's methane visible! It's time to pull the climate emergency break on these corporations! @GRAIN_org @IATP @IATPEurope @ChangingMarkets @StandMighty @feedbackorg @DeSmog @futureoffoodorg @Greenpeace

Release: Meat & dairy giants’ methane emissions rival Big Oil’s: cuts can dramatically slow down global heating this decade - Greenpeace

[Greenpeace Aotearoa @GreenpeaceNZ]

Fonterra is Aotearoa’s worst climate polluter. They are cooking the climate with superheating methane gas, produced by the oversized dairy herd, and we’re here to call on them to end their climate destruction.

[Foodrise @wearefoodrise]

The @FAO’s recent Pathways report, launched at COP28, contains major errors that downplay the huge emissions saving potential of lower-meat and dairy diets – an embarrassing error, or bowing to the livestock industry? 👀

Read our new blog: https://t.co/q1odexWr3o

[Shefali @shufflecharm]

@Greenpeace joined over a 100 organisations in calling on @FAOLivestock @FAODG @FAO to retract a key report --due to errors--- that outlined the pathway to reducing meat and dairy emissions. We expect rigorous peer review of UN publications.

[Foodrise @wearefoodrise]

📢 Over 100 organisations and leading experts from around the world are calling on the UN @FAO to urgently retract a key report, due to serious errors that downplay the emissions reduction potential of lower-meat and dairy diets.

AFSA POLICY BRIEF
Adaptation, Resilience, And Mitigation Through Agroecology

As the sixtieth sessions of the Subsidiary Body for Scientific and Technological Advice and the Subsidiary Body for Implementation (#SB60) of the #UNFCCC commence in #Bonn on June 3, AFSA is pleased to release its latest policy brief advocating for #agroecology as a bold #African solution to a just #ClimateaAction

This pivotal document, titled "Adaptation, Resilience, and Mitigation Through Agroecology," emphasizes the critical need for integrating sustainable agricultural practices into climate action frameworks to enhance adaptation and mitigation strategies across Africa.

AFSA's policy brief urges the prioritization of agroecology to ensure that environmental #sustainability and resilient #foodsystems are central to #climate discussions, especially for the most vulnerable communities across the continent.

[A Growing Culture @agcconnect]

🚨 New report❗️
Agroecological farmers are not against #technology or #innovation. They disagree with the narrative that #tech is the only way to #sustainability, which can distract from the wider reforms needed for a more fair and resilient #FoodSystem.

@GeorginaEWright thanks for this excellent analysis!

[Shefali @shufflecharm]

a great thread from @GRAIN_org on the African Fertilizer Summit and the politics of it. #agroecology

[GRAIN @GRAIN_org]

In #Africa a majority of farmers practice #agroecology, adding organic nutrients to the soil. A summit of African governments and corporate lobbyists wants to triple the use of chemical #fertiliser, despite it being a major cause of #climatechange #AFSH24🧵https://t.co/SitqohLrg5

[Shefali @shufflecharm]

In fact, one was decided this week already against another meat giant @danishcrown https://t.co/6nzcrjIXoa for misleading the public with its "climate controlled" pork....@Greenpeace @GreenpeaceEU @GreenpeaceNZ

[GRAIN @GRAIN_org]

More lawsuits are bound to come. Big corporations are incompatible with the real climate solution of:
✅ moderate meat and dairy consumption, and
✅ decentralised systems of production, in the hands of small farmers and pastoralists

This is a big week for litigation against big meat corporations for misleading the public! @Greenpeace @GreenpeaceEU @GreenpeaceNZ

New York’s Attorney General has filed a suit against #JBS, the world’s largest meat company, for profiting from “fraudulent and illegal” claims about its commitment to #NetZero greenhouse gas emissions by 2040 when it has “no viable plan” to do so. 🧵

The current policy proposals regarding Livestock,Feed and Inputs(Seed,Fertilizer,Pesticides) are all in the Agricultural Sector Transformation and Growth Strategy 2019-2029.

The government with its partners AGRA,USAID,GIZ,FAO,JICA etc laid bare the agricultural plan for Kenya.

The absence of #women in the visual narrative of #COP28 raises concerns about whether the diverse voices of women are genuinely being heard and incorporated into #climate policies, write @NakabuyeHildaF, @txaisurui & @Brianna_Fruean #gender https://t.co/4hgoxHIdzm
