COP31 Panel to Address Methane Emission Reduction in Agriculture for Food Security
The 31st United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP31) will feature a panel discussion focused on reducing methane emissions from beef cattle while simultaneously advancing food security and supporting rural livelihoods. Co-hosted by the Clean Air Task Force, Brazil’s Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock, Environmental Defense Fund, Climate and Clean Air Coalition, and Food and Land Use Coalition, the event will bring together government, research, industry, and civil society perspectives. The discussion will explore how science, supportive policies, collaboration, and corporate action can achieve these goals. The panel will draw on two global initiatives: the Resilient Agriculture Investment for Net Zero Land Degradation (RAIZ) and Integrating Agricultural Development and Methane Mitigation, both aimed at advancing agricultural productivity, climate mitigation, and sustainable land management.
