SA to eat half as much meat: Proposal as Climate Change Bill is debated.

An animal welfare organisation has proposed SA should reduce its animal protein consumption and production by 50% by 2040. This is in line with the proposed Climate Change Bill which was open for public comment until Friday last week . The draft legislation is aimed at changes proposed by the department of forestry, fisheries and the environment during the “Just Transition” to a low-carbon economy, which was tabled before parliament in February. But animal organisation Four Paws raised concerns in its submission that the proposed bill did not strike a balance between sustainable agriculture and sustainable development “as well as the role of adaptation to achieve such a sustainable agriculture sector, sectoral emission targets and carbon budgets”. <a href="https://kaya959.co.za">Kaya 959</a>
