Producers of animal protein are adopting a proactive approach to counteract anticipated attacks on intensive meat and poultry production at the COP28.  The North American Meat Institute and the Protein PACT will “engage at the highest levels”.  PACT (People, Animals and Climate of Tomorrow) will have a prominent position at the Americas Pavilion and will sponsor the Inter-American Institute for Cooperation on Sustainable Agriculture.  The joint action between PACT and the IICA will include a reception with guest speakers including the Minister of Livestock, and agricultural officials of Uruguay. 

The message to be conveyed by the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization will be that developed nations “over-consume meat” citing per capita data. This is a blatant attempt to shame industrialized countries such as the U.S., Canada and western European nations to reduce demand for poultry and meat products.
