#Biodiversity loss, animal trafficking & intensive animal farming increase the risk of emerging infectious disease outbreaks.

Urge the @WHO to adopt a justice-centered #PandemicPreventionTreaty.

A sustainable #FoodSystem is crucial to tackle the climate🔥 health😷 & nature🐾crises.

The @hlpe_cfs draft note on #FoodSecurity for @UN_CFS needs to embrace a #OneHealth approach & incentivise a shift to more plant-based foods.

"Improved #AnimalWelfare protection is needed not only for ethical reasons & connecting humans to nature, but to achieve multiple #SDGs.

Transitioning out of intensive livestock industry & towards more #PlantBased diets is a critical means to this end"

This is important 👇🏽

Many measures that would help achieve the proposed #Biodiversity framework targets also benefit #ClimateChange mitigation.

These include recovering and conserving wild species, eliminating overfishing, and shifting diets to include more #PlantBased foods.

The Revelator@Revelator_News

New #research finds that 2/3 of CBD #biodiversity targets also support #ClimateChange mitigation. https://therevelator.org/biodiversity-climate-study/
