SUMMARY:COP29: United Nations Climate Change Conference
DESCRIPTION:COP29: United Nations Climate Change ConferencePast\n\n\n\n\nCOP29 Baku brings the world together at a critical moment for global transformative climate action. Join GFI and other alternative protein experts at this historic event! \n\n\n\n	Share this page on Facebook\n	\n	Share on Facebook\n\n\n	Share this page on Twitter\n	\n	Share on X\n\n\n	Share this page on LinkedIn\n	\n	Share on LinkedIn\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n	\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout alternative proteins\n\n\n\nAlternative proteins are agricultural innovations that\, with proper levels of government and private support\, will help ensure planetary and public health. Learn more about what they are\, why they matter\, and how they can transform the future of food. You can also dig deep into the climate and biodiversity benefits of alternative proteins below. \n\n\n\nAlternative proteins are a global climate solution\n\n\n\nToday\, agriculture accounts for a third of all global emissions. Animal agriculture alone – including the crops and pastures to feed those animals—accounts for up to 20 percent of all emissions. A solution? Change how meat is made. Learn more about the climate benefits of alternative proteins here. \n\n\n\nAlternative proteins are a biodiversity solution\n\n\n\nThe stakes for biodiversity around the world are high. One-third of all plant and animal life alive today is at risk of extinction by 2070. Shifting toward alternative proteins is key to reversing deforestation and biodiversity loss while still meeting the growing global demand for meat. Learn more about the biodiversity benefits of alternative proteins here. \n\n\n\n\n\nThe Good Food Institute at COP29\n\n\n\nThe Good Food Institute is a nonprofit think tank working to make the global food system better for the planet\, people\, and animals. As an international network of organizations\, we advance alternative proteins to help meet climate\, global health\, food security\, and biodiversity goals. Learn how GFI is creating a world where alternative proteins are no longer alternative. \n\n\n\nA critical moment in global transformative climate action\n\n\n\nTo meet growing global demand for meat\, we need more ways to produce protein—and bold leaders to drive protein innovation. \n\n\n\nCheck out some of the ways GFI and its partners are engaging at COP29 to elevate alternative proteins as a solution to pressing challenges: \n\n\n\n\nGFI Founder and President Bruce Friedrich will be speaking on a panel hosted by the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and Consultative Group for International Agricultural Research (CGIAR). Learn more about the event\, “Alternative Proteins for Climate\, Hunger\, and Global Health”\, here.\n\n\n\nBruce Friedrich will also be speaking on a panel hosted by Climate Action\, “Agri-Food Innovation: Pioneering Solutions for Climate Action.” Learn more about the event here.\n\n\n\nGFI Brazil is co-hosting a panel with FAO and CGIAR\, “Harvesting change: Sustainable food systems for climate and biodiversity solutions.” Learn more here.\n\n\n\nGFI Israel Associate Director of Policy Adi Ben Tov will moderate a panel and workshop at the Action On Food Pavilion led by EIT Food\, Proveg International\, and the Future Economy Forum. Learn more about “Unlocking National Potential through Alternative Protein Strategies” here\, under the roundtable zone tab.\n\n\n\n\nNote: Many COP29 events will be live-streamed. Check the host organization’s webpage for details. \n\n\n\n\n\nEvent location\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGFI delegation\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBruce Friedrich\n\n\n\nPRESIDENT AND FOUNDER\, GFI \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGus Guadagnini\n\n\n\nCHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER\, GFI BRAZIL \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMariana Bernal\n\n\n\nPOLICY ANALYST\, GFI BRAZIL \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAlysson Soares\n\n\n\nHEAD OF POLICY\, GFI BRAZIL \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSamuel Goh\n\n\n\nPOLICY MANAGER\, GFI APAC \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAdi Ben Tov\n\n\n\nASSOCIATE DIRECTOR OF POLICY\, GFI ISRAEL \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nClare Bland\n\n\n\nSENIOR GLOBAL DIRECTOR OF PHILANTHROPY\, GFI \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n	\n		\n								\n		\n										\n						\n		\n			\n					\n		\n							\n\nHow to meet your NDC goals\n\n\n\nIntegrate alternative protein innovation into your national climate plans.
