CoP28

The importance of livestock in helping low- and middle-income countries adapt to climate change has received very little coverage in most mainstream western publications, despite the livestock sector's prominence in public debates and policy deliberations on climate change. There is little recognition of the need for additional funding to help the livestock industry survive and make sure that, despite climate change, livestock will still provide people with a way out of poverty.

For ILRI, CoP28 is a chance to share these opinions as part of a worldwide dialogue. Through the GLAD network, ILRI and partners will be engaging in a number of events during the  28th session of the Conference of the Parties (CoP28) to the UNFCCC.

Livestock farmers, policymakers, researchers, it's time to be heard! What are YOU doing to adapt to the challenges of #climatechange?

You've seen the changes, felt the impact, and you've adapted. Now is the time to share your story.

Post a short selfie video of 30-60 seconds about your #climateadaptation solution to your preferred social media platform using the hashtag #myclimatesolution. We will make sure your voice is heard at #COP28 and beyond, as part of the two-year Advancing Livestock 4 Climate #Alive4Climate campaign.
