"UN Urges Americans to Cut Meat Consumption for Climate Accord Compliance"
The United Nations' Food & Agriculture Organization (FAO) is expected to advise Americans to eat less meat in order to meet the goals of the Paris Climate Accords. The FAO will announce this guidance at the COP28 summit in December, urging richer nations like the U.S. to curb their "overconsumption" of meat, which contributes to one third of global greenhouse emissions. Developing nations will be advised to increase meat production to address nutritional deficiencies. The FAO will also recommend measures to help farmers adapt to erratic weather patterns and reduce emissions from food production. However, implementing this guidance may face political challenges in the U.S. as livestock is a politically sensitive issue.
