Yesterday, the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released the third and final installment of their sixth assessment report.
But wait...didn't we just email you about an IPCC report last month? Yes, we did! But that was part two of a three-part report.
Yesterday's report focuses on solutions, recommending levers policymakers can pull to mitigate the disastrous effects of climate change outlined in part two. One such lever is cellular agriculture, which the IPCC names as a promising way to reduce GHG emissions from food production (Ch. 12, page 5).
However, the IPCC qualifies their recommendation of cellular agriculture with the comment "more research on safety aspects needed." (Ch. 12, page 77)

For the last three months, New Harvest has been developing phase two of our cultured meat safety initiative to generate publicly-available safety data for groups like the IPCC to reference.

New Harvest is currently fundraising for phase two of our safety initiative to conduct the very research the IPCC is asking for. If you are a philanthropist, science funder, or philanthropically-minded investor—or know someone who is—please me at is...@new-harvest.org and I will gladly share our safety fundraising proposal.

For the world’s leading climate scientists to highlight the need for more cultured meat safety research makes this work all the more important. We need $276,727 for phase two. With your support we can make headway on a clear, coordinated path to safety.
