New report by Changing Markets Foundation released today exposes the lobbying tactics of big meat & dairy companies to sow doubt about the #climate impact of livestock. The usual combo (tested by the tobacco industry) of delay, distract and derail tactics... changingmarkets.org/report/the-new…

The FAO has degenerated into a disinformation outlet. It's a disgraceful abandonment of its mission, to favour corporate interests. Important report by Arthur Neslen climatechangenews.com/2024/08/14/fao…

The Strategic Dialogue on Agriculture is now over, and the outcome is promising. We hope this will lead to concrete actions - we can't afford stalling like we saw with the Farm to Fork Strategy. The key issues where consensus was reached include⬇️

⚠ We're taking the Spanish government to court to stop bottom trawling in Marine Protected Areas. The government has flouted the rules so we're taking action with Oceana in Europe to make sure that "Protected” means “Protected”. brnw.ch/21wObQK

We’re calling for an investigation into German meat producers for possible ties to human rights and environmental abuses. The companies use soy from Brazil for animal feed where these violations are rife. We don't think they're complying with German law. brnw.ch/21wOe2p

⚠️We're in court in Luxembourg today against the European Commission because we want them to stop labelling false solutions to the climate crisis as 'sustainable'. Just because something has a 'bio' prefix, it doesn't mean it 's good for people and the environment. Stay tuned.
