Synergies in sustainable livestock and climate change, addressing co-benefits and partnerships
12 December 2019, 09:00 to 10:30 hours
SDG Synergies Pavillion, Blue Zone, COP25, IFEMA, Feria de Madrid
The multistakeholder partnership (MSP) approach of the Global Agenda for sustainable Livestock, GASL, contributes in a unique way to the important tasks countries face to implement effective solutions for climate change and sustainability issues in a broad sense.
This was confirmed in the side event organised by FAO and GASL. It illustrated well how climate action in the livestock sector generates multiple benefits through partnerships. Examples from Kenya, Uruguay, Costa Rica, the Chaco region, France, etc. showed an array of approaches and multistakeholder action leading to more sustainability in the livestock sector. The examples focused on climate impact of livestock and the potential to reduce the ecological footprint with science-based approaches be it in forage breeding, in animal breeding, in grassland management or in improved animal husbandry practices.
The event was a good example of the work of GASL and the value, multi-stakeholder action in the livestock sector can add to the effort to achieve the SDGs of the UN Agenda 2030. This was also acknowledged by a surprise visit of the United Nation's Secretary-General António Guterres.
