Nigeria's Livestock Climate Plan Emphasizes Local Data and Productivity for Emission Reduction

Nigeria's Livestock Climate Plan Emphasizes Local Data and Productivity for Emission Reduction

Nigeria has unveiled an ambitious 10-year National Livestock Growth Acceleration Strategy aimed at increasing the sector's economic contribution from USD 32 billion to USD 72 billion. This plan, presented at COP31, candidly addresses the tension between growing the livestock sector for food security and managing its greenhouse gas emissions, particularly methane. The strategy emphasizes efficiency through better feed, animal health, and genetics to increase output per animal while reducing waste. Nigeria is moving away from global default values for livestock emissions, which are often based on intensive systems in high-income countries, and is instead developing country-specific data. Early findings from Nigeria's livestock methane baseline study suggest some local systems emit more methane than previously assumed, while other research indicates lower nitrous oxide emissions from cattle manure in Kenyan grazing systems than global defaults. This highlights the importance of accurate, localized measurement...

U.S. Inflation Remains Stubbornly High, Driven by Food, Energy, and Housing Costs

U.S. Inflation Remains Stubbornly High, Driven by Food, Energy, and Housing Costs

U.S. inflation remained stubbornly high last month, with the Consumer Price Index rising four-tenths of a percent. This increase was primarily driven by higher costs for food, energy, and housing. Housing costs alone climbed three-tenths of a percent, accounting for approximately one-third of the larger-than-expected monthly increase. Economists now project that inflation will run at about 4% for the year, which is outpacing wage growth and placing significant financial strain on American households. Austan Goolsbee, president and CEO of the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, described the report as 'distressing' and noted that services inflation, including healthcare, is not decreasing, indicating a persistent inflation issue.

Nigeria Unveils Ambitious Livestock Growth Plan at COP31, Addressing Climate Concerns

Nigeria Unveils Ambitious Livestock Growth Plan at COP31, Addressing Climate Concerns

Nigeria has presented an ambitious 10-year National Livestock Growth Acceleration Strategy at COP31, aiming to increase the sector's economic contribution from approximately $32 billion to $72 billion. This plan, introduced by the Federal Ministry of Livestock Development, which is less than two years old, has already seen 22 Nigerian states establish their own livestock ministries. The strategy acknowledges the inherent tension between expanding the livestock sector to meet national food security needs and controlling greenhouse gas emissions, particularly methane. To address this, Nigeria emphasizes efficiency improvements through better feed, animal health, and genetics, which can reduce emissions intensity while boosting output. The country is also moving away from global default values for livestock emissions, instead using locally calculated and more accurate data, with early findings suggesting some Nigerian systems emit more methane than previously assumed.
