Summary: This report contains an analysis of climate, environmental and health impacts of over consumption of meat and animal products, current market trends and public policies in this area. Further information: The report signals the increase of vegans, vegetarians and flexitarians, particularly among the younger generations, a trend which is being reflected in a strong advancing market for plant-based products and companies manufacturing innovative meat alternatives. However, the report signals that there is an absence of public policies supporting these positive consumer and market shifts. Policy is needed to include the food sector as part of the solution to climate change. The report offers a number of recommendations for policy makers around the world to support such transition, including putting in place ambitious climate targets that drive emission reductions in animal agriculture in line with Paris agreement. The Changing Markets Foundation was formed to accelerate and scale up solutions to sustainability challenges by leveraging the power of markets. Working in partnership with NGOs, other foundations and research organisations, the Changing Markets Foundation creates and supports campaigns that shift market share away from unsustainable products and companies and towards environmentally and socially beneficial solutions. |
