Climate action in the livestock sector in Africa made it into conversations at the 60th Bonn Climate Change Conference on 4 June 2024.
While we have heard a lot about the importance of agriculture, food security and food system transformation in relation to the climate negotiations of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, discussions on livestock systems do not always feature prominently due to the controversial nature of animal-source food production.
Therefore, the International Livestock Research Institute, the CGIAR Initiative on Livestock and Climate, the International Development Research Centre and the African Group of Negotiators Expert Support organized a side event to discuss how to incorporate climate action in the sector, and how to progress.
