New research reveals a coordinated plan by agribusiness to influence climate policies in Brazil, Uruguay, Paraguay, and Argentina. The goal: to change how the impact of livestock farming is calculated using the GWP* metric. Join us to hear about why this is problematic, unpack the science behind GWP* and how it can be used, and explore the challenges to reducing methane in the agriculture sector. We will be joined by the investigative journalist behind new research in South America, expert voices on corporate lobbying, and scientists, to discuss why methane in agriculture matters and must be addressed.
Speakers:
Maximiliano Manzoni – Journalist and author of Methane, Money, and Metrics, a South American investigation into agribusiness’s role in reshaping climate rules.
Professor Hannah Daly – University College Cork, on “no additional warming” in Ireland, and its implications for the Paris Agreement and global food security.
Shefali Sharma – Greenpeace Global Agriculture Campaigner, on how “no additional warming” is being used in New Zealand.
Nusa Urbancic – CEO, Changing Markets Foundation, and Nicholas Carter – Ecological Food Systems Expert, co-authors of Seeing Stars: The New Metric [GWP*] That Could Allow the Meat and Dairy Industry to Avoid Climate Action, on how Big Agriculture is lobbying to avoid meaningful emission reductions.
