SEA Ambassador’s Post

The Alliance has joined over 60 organisations from around the globe in a unified commitment to elevate animal welfare in the sustainable development agenda. The planet is in crisis. Our production systems – including for food, clothes, cosmetics, and medicine – are highly exploitative of humans, animals, and the planet, and they’re undermining our collective health and wellbeing. But we have an opportunity. Policymakers and citizens around the world can redefine how we achieve our sustainable development goals for a future that provides for the welfare of animals – for them and for us. By working with international bodies, governments, corporations, and communities, we will pave the way for a sustainable world where the welfare of all living beings is our measure of progress.

Today I presented a poster at The International Conference on Sustainable Development (ICSD) 2024 where I wanted to highlight the need to include 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐝𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐬𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦! The idea is that the decision should be taken around the 𝐰𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐞 𝐯𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐞 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐢𝐧 of the food system, that today have some positive outcomes and negative externalities. The system should be designed to benefit all who are a part of it. 🔸The 𝐠𝐨𝐚𝐥𝐬 of the food system should be to ensure all human nutritional health, animal life, environmental sustainability, natural resource conservation, farmers support, resilient food supply and celebrate different food cultures. I highlight that there are 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐨𝐟𝐟𝐬 that needs to be done but that they need to be understood and transparent when decisions around policies are made. Then I give an example of how to include animal suffering in the decision making by using the 𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐥 𝐰𝐞𝐥𝐟𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐨𝐭𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐭. I have heard there are great sessions 𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐨𝐰 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐨𝐧 𝐒𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐲 around 𝐒𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐢𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐅𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 around global future challenges, I will watch! https://lnkd.in/dYHX8BCk

I'm joining World Animal Protection's delegation here at the Bonn Climate Conference this week, calling for climate solutions that build an equitable, humane and sustainable food system. Addressing emissions from industrial animal agriculture is crucial for a sustainable future. Here are key focus areas for #ClimateAction: 1. Encourage subsidy redirection away from industrial animal farming towards kinder and more sustainable food system 2. Accelerate protein shift, particularly in high meat-consuming countries. Update dietary guidelines and reform procurement policies to reflect sustainability goals. 3. Promote deforestation-free supply chains: Tighten regulations on deforestation linked to animal feed and meat/dairy imports. Sustainable supply chains are vital to climate and biodiversity action. 4. Strengthen animal welfare: Enhance #AnimalWelfare standards and environmental regulations within existing animal farms to constrain its harmful effects. 5. Commitment to sustainable practices: Cap and reduce factory farming footprint through NDCs and NAPs and advocate for a global moratorium on new industrial farms by 2030.

We are Stand With Life Association, Ankara's first fully vegan NGO, and we are here for change. We envision a world where veganism, climate justice, animal rights, human rights, and environmental sustainability coexist harmoniously. Through education, advocacy, and community-driven projects, we aim to inspire others to take action for a more just, healthy, and compassionate planet. Climate change is not just an environmental issue; it is a human rights issue. As Yaşamdan Yana Association, we advocate for climate justice and work to promote policies that protect both people and the planet. With our "Vegan Starter Kit" and other resources, we strive to make the transition to a plant-based lifestyle easier and more accessible for everyone who chooses this path. Let’s take a step together towards a fairer future for all life on Earth. #vegan #sustainability #animalrights #humanrights #climatejustice

This year's High-Level Political Forum on Sustainable Development will be an important one for animals: the HLPF will review worldwide progress against SDG 2 (Zero Hunger) and SDG 13 (Climate Action). As such, we welcome the global NGO movement urging the HLPF for urgent, transformative action to improve animal, human, and environmental health and wellbeing. https://lnkd.in/eNUeY_K3

Soil health and animal welfare are deeply connected🌱🐾 I urge us all to learn more about this connection between soil and animal welfare and the new FOUR PAWS report is a good place to start ➡️ https://brnw.ch/21wLsY0... Soil is a topic that many don’t automatically associate with animal welfare as such, but luckily it’s been getting more airtime. It’s been said before, and it will be said again, intensive farming, factory farming, does NOT work for the planet. This current system is not working for the planet, it’s not working for animals, it’s not working for humans and its also not working for the soil of this planet that we call home. 🌍 ❗❗❗As the new FOUR PAWS report, Sustaining our Soils - An animal welfare solution for the environment and the climate, so clearly states: “Soil is the basis of life and one of the main storehouses of terrestrial biodiversity, housing approximately one-quarter of the total biodiversity of the planet. 46 Soil holds multiple functions, such as nutrient cycling, waste decomposition, climate regulation, plant production, regulation of water quality, water storage, detoxification of pollutants and supporting the ecosystem under and above ground. We acquire more than 95% of our food from soils.” In sustainable farming, animals enrich the soil while receiving nutritious food from diverse landscapes. However, intensive factory farming harms both, subjecting animals to cruel conditions, producing excessive waste that pollutes soils and waters, and creating dangerous ammonia levels for humans and animals. 🐄💔 The impact of factory farming on ecosystems and people is significant. Over 3.2 billion people are affected by land degradation, which threatens food security since 95% of our food comes from soils. The cost of global land degradation is estimated at $85.8 trillion annually. 💸 A move towards sustainable farming is essential – and needs to happen sooner rather than later. With healthy soil, we can have happier animals, and a more sustainable planet!🌎 #Soil #FOURPAWS #SoilAndAnimalWelfare #ClimateChange #FactoryFarming #AnimalWelfare

Angel Flores is on the ground in Azerbaijan to unveil tomorrow’s World Animal Protection events at COP29 Azerbaijan. These sessions are set to explore the intersection of animal welfare, sustainable development, and global climate action. ▼ COP29 | From Industrial Animal Farming to a Sustainable Food System - This session will explore pathways to transition from resource-intensive industrial animal farming to sustainable, equitable food systems that prioritize the well-being of animals, people, and the planet. https://lnkd.in/e8vv7UCh COP29 | The Power of Marginalised Communities in Global Food Systems - Discover how marginalized communities are at the forefront of reshaping global food systems, showcasing the power of local solutions to drive resilience and sustainability. https://lnkd.in/ez63zEkQ Protecting Animals is Essential to Combating the Climate and Biodiversity Crisis - Learn why protecting animals is a cornerstone of effective climate action and biodiversity conservation, and how integrating animal welfare into global strategies can yield profound ecological benefits. https://lnkd.in/eaezAr9J These events are not just conversations; they’re pivotal moments in redefining our relationship with animals, food systems, and the planet. Join us for these transformative events. #AnimalWelfare #ClimateAction #COP29
