"Big meat companies and lobby groups are planning a large presence at the Cop28
climate conference, equipped with a communications plan to get a pro-meat
message heard by policymakers throughout the summit.
Documents seen by the
Guardian and
DeSmog show that the meat industry is
poised to “tell its story and tell it well” at the Dubai conference.
The files show how the world’s largest meat company, JBS, is planning to come
out in “full force” at the summit, along with other big industry hitters such
as the Global Dairy Platform and the North American Meat Institute.
The documents, which were produced by the industry-funded Global Meat Alliance
(GMA), emphasise the industry’s desire to promote “our scientific evidence” at
the summit.
Members of the alliance have been asked to stick to key comms messages, which
include the idea that meat is beneficial to the environment.
Meat and dairy companies are under increasing pressure over their large
greenhouse gas footprints. The dairy industry is responsible for 3.4% of global
human-induced emissions, a higher share than aviation."
