Towards a One Health approach to reducing animal agriculture’s climate footprint
A journal article in Frontiers in Animal Science, co-authored by SEI experts, argues that the UN system and governments must take a more holistic approach toward animal agriculture policy as it relates to climate change mitigation. This can by done through the “One Health” lens, weighing the trade-offs of various policy solutions among humans, animals and the environment. Published on 15 May 2024

Animal agriculture contributes an estimated 12%–20% of the globe’s total human-fuelled greenhouse gas emissions. As a result, both governmental and private actors have proposed various ways to mitigate the climate impacts of this industry. In this article, the authors identify seven common strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from animal agriculture and explore their broader consequences for One Health, including for nutrition, zoonotic disease emergence, anti-microbial resistance and animal welfare. The piece gives recommendations on how policymakers, international organizations and the financial sector can take a more holistic approach towards animal agriculture that advances climate goals while avoiding new problems in public health and animal welfare. |
