agriculture represents a key source of climate emissions and biodiversity loss driven by the current agri-food systems. Ensuring non-animal source proteins are readily available and accessible within food supply chains is an imperative to achieve a climate-secure future and to put a stop to the loss of biodiversity worldwide. </div> </div> <div> <div paraeid="{15b335b4-cf05-44a0-82f6-3388a55a143c}{34}" paraid="389731060"> </div> <div paraeid="{15b335b4-cf05-44a0-82f6-3388a55a143c}{34}" paraid="389731060">Around 60% of the emissions from the food system and 12–20% of all greenhouse gas emissions worldwide are caused by animal agriculture and the production of animal feed. Despite being significantly larger contributors to climate change and other environmental impacts, animal source foods provide just 17% of the world's calories, and 38% of its protein. Thus, reducing emissions from meat and dairy production is one of the biggest mitigation actions within the food system. And yet, current projections predict global meat consumption to increase by 50% or more by 2050, though with significant regional differences, meaning the impact of animal agriculture is predicted to grow further unless addressed. </div> </div> <div> <div paraeid="{15b335b4-cf05-44a0-82f6-3388a55a143c}{42}" paraid="310919798"> </div> <div paraeid="{15b335b4-cf05-44a0-82f6-3388a55a143c}{42}" paraid="310919798">It is essential that any investment aiming to address climate change and environmental integrity consider alternative proteins – which can include any alternative to animal-sourced foods from beans or tofu to cultivated meat. These new criteria will provide procurement guidelines for assessing the alignment of alternative protein production and retailing strategies with a 1.5°C transition, to enable food retailers and other relevant stakeholders to issue credible green finance. </div> </div> <div> <div paraeid="{15b335b4-cf05-44a0-82f6-3388a55a143c}{72}" paraid="564306170"> </div> <div paraeid="{15b335b4-cf05-44a0-82f6-3388a55a143c}{72}" paraid="564306170"><strong>What's Included:</strong> These Criteria will focus on two main areas. The first is substituting some of the production and consumption of animal source foods with lower impact alternative proteins. This would mitigate the vast impacts of animal agriculture - the largest of which would arise by substituting beef, and other ruminant meats, as these have the highest carbon and land footprints. The second is mitigating the impacts of alternative proteins themselves, with a focus on energy source and use, raw materials, and waste management. As most of the emissions for alternative proteins relate to energy use, single actions such as powering facilities with renewable instead of conventional energy mixes are significantly more effective in attaining reductions than these actions could be for conventional animal agriculture, where energy makes up a smaller proportion of the emissions profile. </div> </div> <div> <div paraeid="{15b335b4-cf05-44a0-82f6-3388a55a143c}{112}" paraid="997144465"> </div> <div paraeid="{15b335b4-cf05-44a0-82f6-3388a55a143c}{112}" paraid="997144465">The criteria will focus clearly on climate and land-use impacts, while also incorporating safeguards for other environmental issues such as water pollution. The criteria will be informed by other standards in the market and recent policy developments, with an aim to facilitate much needed progress towards food supply chains protective of climate and biodiversity. </div> </div> <div> <div paraeid="{15b335b4-cf05-44a0-82f6-3388a55a143c}{132}" paraid="4847127"> </div> <div paraeid="{15b335b4-cf05-44a0-82f6-3388a55a143c}{132}" paraid="4847127"><strong>Why It Matters:</strong> Livestock agriculture significantly impacts climate and biodiversity.
