World Animal Protection (WAP) has officially launched a campaign advocating for a just transition away from industrial animal agriculture.
During a webinar today, the organization announced its active participation in the upcoming 30th Conference of the Parties (COP 30) in Belém Brazil, where it will be calling for urgent action to reform global food systems in alignment with climate, biodiversity, and human rights goals.
The new campaign presents a compelling case for phasing out industrial factory farming and transitioning to equitable, humane, and sustainable food systems.
The External Affairs Lead at World Animal Protection Sally Kahiu said the move was essential to meeting international climate commitments, including the Paris Agreement, and safeguarding public health and planetary boundaries. "Our global food system, especially industrial animal agriculture, not only accelerates biodiversity loss, depletes water resources, and contributes to rural poverty and public health crises but also compromises animal welfare on a massive scale," she said.
