Endorse the Plant Based Treaty!

There is a climate, ocean and biodiversity crisis.  Fossil fuels and animal agriculture are the driving force behind runaway global warming as well as extensive biodiversity loss, large-scale deforestation, species extinction, water depletion, soil degradation and ocean dead zones.

Addressing fossil fuels alone is not enough — we need action on food systems too; that’s where the Plant Based Treaty comes in. The three main greenhouse gases — carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide are at record levels and rapidly accelerating; animal agriculture contributes to all three but is the main driver of methane and nitrous oxide emissions globally.

In short, the three greenhouse gases must be tackled both urgently and with equal measure. Plant-based and soft energy solutions that can mitigate this disaster are within our grasp — we just need to implement them.

1. Relinquish

No more land use change or deforestation for animal agriculture.

 

2. Redirect

Promote plant-based foods and an active transition away from animal-based food systems to plant-based systems

 

3. Restore

Restore key ecosystems and reforest the earth.
