Livestock food systems need to be rapidly rethought to tackle the
global climate crisis. This book examines how climate concerns for
the livestock sector are governed in international law and
addresses the sector’s inclusion or (lack thereof) across the
international governance of climate change, agriculture, forests
and trade. The book provides a wide-ranging analysis of legal
regimes on the international level that affect emissions from
cattle (and where relevant, livestock more broadly). On this basis,
tensions, interactions, and common themes for livestock emissions
mitigation across the international climate change, forestry,
agricultural and agri-trade regime are identified. This showcases
where productive synergies and damaging tensions have emerged
across the cross-cutting nature of livestock governance, enabling
goals of fairer and more effective emissions mitigation for the
sector to be achieved. In addition to addressing issues such as
food security and public health, the book highlights the problem of
affluence in reducing cattle emissions from meat consumption. This
key insight is significant in terms of tackling future livestock
emissions trajectories, particularly in relation to securing
climate justice within the agricultural sector and securing
equitable and effective livestock solutions. The book is a key text
for all those with an interest in the legal governance of climate
change and agriculture, adding to the timely debate on the future
sustainability of the global diet and the relationship between
affluence and climate change.
