This morning, 98 organizations and individuals sent a letter to calling on the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) to affirm its independence from private and corporate interests, to maintain a strict ethics regime that avoids even the appearance of interference or impropriety, and to boldly uplift the huge body of existing climate science that affirms the devastating climate consequences of animal agriculture and the global meat industry. Read their letter to Dr. Hoesung Lee, Chairman of the IPCC hereng Lee, Chairman of the IPCC here.


“Our organizations, representing millions of individuals who are concerned about the future of our planet, are deeply troubled by the potential influence of the meat industry’s years-long campaign of interference on any climate recommendations that include plant-based diets as a solution. We are writing to urge the IPCC to fully recognize the scientific evidence that shows the role of food and agriculture in driving the climate crisis and to ensure that future reports specifically highlight plant-based diets as a key climate strategy. Furthermore, we encourage the IPCC to maintain its credibility by taking steps to ensure that Big Agriculture and the global meat industry have no influence over future reports,” the organizations wrote.


The organizations include local, national, and international advocates such as CESTA Friends of the Earth El Salvador, Friends of the Earth, the Center for Biological Diversity, Rainforest Action Network, Amazon Watch, PETA, Farm Sanctuary, Feedback, Feedback EU, the Factory Farm Awareness Coalition, and the True Animal Protein Price Coalition.
