WORLD WORLDWIDE US USA - CLIMATE - FAO - care2PETITIONS - The UN is downplaying a major climate threat. Demand a correction to its misleading report.

 

The UN must accurately report on animal agriculture's climate impacts. Scientists Agree: Animal Agriculture Hurts Our Planet. But the UN Released a Misleading Report Downplaying This Reality. Sign Now    Dear friends,   The UN's Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) recently released a report that was supposed to highlight animal agriculture's huge contributions to global emissions. But instead, the agency cherry-picked the data in order to downplay livestock farming's clear and devastating impacts on climate change. In doing so, the FAO is also minimizing the positive impacts of dietary changes away from meat consumption. More than 20 scientists have expressed their outrage at the FAO for failing to revise or retract this misleading report. They assert that this report contains "serious distortions" and "multiple and egregious errors," culminating in a "misuse of our scientific data." This negligence is not just an oversight; it's a direct threat to our planet's health and the fight against climate change. Livestock farming contributes around 25% of total greenhouse gas emissions. As a result, researchers have found clear evidence that shifting dietary habits would be a tremendously powerful way to reduce emissions. However, the FAO has brushed aside researchers' concerns with vague responses, leaving scientists frustrated. The FAO has the power to influence global agricultural policies and practices, and right now, it is falling short. We cannot allow the FAO to perpetuate the myth that livestock farming is harmless.   Sign the petition to demand that the UN withdraw this current misleading emissions report. Instead, it must release a new report that accurately reflects the environmental harm caused by animal agriculture and emphasizes the necessity of dietary change. Thank you, Miranda Care2 Petitions Team P.S. The UN's FAO must accurately report the data showing that reducing meat consumption is essential for mitigating climate change and protecting our planet. Sign the petition.      Sign Now
