The most important climate
change conference in the world begins in just a few days
- and yet a major contributor to greenhouse
gas emissions is not on the
agenda. Billie Eilish and other
celebrities, along with Humane Society International,
are calling on the United Nations to acknowledge the
role of animal agriculture in global climate
change.
Sign now to tell the United
Nations: it is impossible to meet the Paris Agreement
without fixing our global animal agricultural
system! Address animal agriculture at COP26 in
Scotland!
On top of the
appalling conditions experienced by the animals
themselves, factory farming contributes massively to
greenhouse gas emissions. Factory-farmed animals are
often fed high-energy crops, and the farms themselves
require massive amounts of energy to cool, heat, and
ventilate the confinement facilities. The slaughtering,
processing, packing and transporting of animal products
alone emits several millions of tonnes of
CO2 every year.
Climate change
is already wreaking havoc on our planet's ecosystems,
causing droughts in our most fertile cropland, and
forcing mass migration. We must put pressure on
members of the United Nations and tell them: the time is
now to address animal agriculture and act on
climate!
