🌍 Unlocking Climate Finance for Sustainable Livestock Development 🐄 We're pleased to announce the release of three evidence briefs on climate finance for sustainable livestock development. These briefs are the result of collaborative efforts by our Livestock Data for Decisions (LD4D) Climate Finance Solutions Group, bringing together 20 international experts from various institutions. 🔑 Key objectives: • Bridge the gap between available climate finance and climate action in the livestock sector in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) • Provide decision-makers with tools and insights to quantify emissions and build compelling investment cases • Support the transition to more sustainable and inclusive livestock systems 📊 Our evidence briefs: 1. The Climate Investment Case for the Livestock Sector 2. Policy Levers to Unlock Climate Finance in the Livestock Sector 3. Estimating Livestock Emissions to Unlock Climate Financing 💡 Why this matters: • Over 1.3 billion people rely on livestock for food security • The sector contributes up to 20% of human-induced GHG emissions • Currently, the livestock sector in LMICs receives only a fraction of available climate finance • With global food demand projected to increase by 30-100% by 2050, sustainable solutions are crucial 🌟 Impact highlights: • Sustainable practices like rotational grazing can reduce GHG emissions by up to 30% while boosting productivity • Kenya mobilized $144 million through its Dairy Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMA) by including livestock in national climate plans • Standardized methods for measuring livestock emissions are key to accessing climate finance 👏 Acknowledging Our Experts: We extend our gratitude to the fantastic group who worked together to write these briefs, including: Sintayehu Alemayehu, Rebecca Chamberlin, Laura Cramer, Carlos Gonzalez Fischer, Bernard Kimoro, Gregory Kohler, Ricardo González-Quintero, Jeannette Gurung, Danielle Niedermaier, An Notenbaert, Kurt Rockeman, Gareth Salmon, Dominik Wisser, Nick Wheelhouse, Andreas Wilkes, Michael Victor As we approach UNGA 79 and COP29, these briefs offer timely guidance for policymakers, finance institutions, and project developers. They represent an important building block towards balancing food security, economic growth, and environmental stewardship in the livestock sector. We invite the livestock community and potential investors to explore these briefs and join us in driving sustainable change in livestock development.

Last week, the USDA-funded Egypt TAIB project organized a two-day workshop to foster collaboration between Egypt's National Food Safety Authority (NFSA), Egyptian Chamber of Food Industries CFI, and key food industry players. Expert insights from Professor Samuel Godefroy guided discussions on enhancing transparency, inclusivity, and evidence-based decision-making. This workshop is a crucial step towards achieving NFSA's strategic goals of a more robust, consumer-focused, and industry-friendly food regulatory system. Together, we're working to protect public health and support the growth of Egypt's food and agrifood industries.
