> Join us for the launch of a new report on climate change and livestock, Are livestock always bad for the planet?, co-published by PASTRES and 13 other organisations.
> 
> The global debate on climate change is focusing attention on reducing emissions from livestock production, particularly ruminants. As a result, advocates of a ‘protein transition’ emphasise the need for a major shift to plant-based diets. Others call for more space devoted to nature conservation, rewilding and forestry projects.
> 
> This event will discuss the implications of these proposals for pastoralists – extensive livestock keepers often living in marginal areas and making use of highly challenging environments. We ask whether pastoralists are being unfairly targeted as major polluters and causes of climate change. Are the models being used appropriate and the data accurate? What are the benefits of certain types of livestock production system, and can these offset the costs? What would a more differentiated perspective for climate policy look like?
> 
> The event will discuss a major report produced by the European Research Council-funded PASTRES programme, jointly published together with a range of collaborators with deep knowledge of pastoral systems across the world. The report itself will be available to download from 22 September on the PASTRES website.

> About the report
> 
> The report Are livestock always bad for the planet? will be published on 22 September 2021.
> 
> This report warns that the dominant picture of livestock’s impacts on climate change has been distorted by faulty assumptions that focus on intensive, industrial farming in rich countries. Millions of people worldwide who depend on extensive livestock production, with relatively lower climate impacts, are being ignored by debates on the future of food.

The report is published in support of the International Year of Rangelands and Pastoralists (IYRP) 2026.
