Climate's Emergency Brake: The imperative for a livestock transition to slow global warming

In this brief, we outline why action on methane is so urgently needed and where there are risks of a sudden shift in the policy or consumer landscape. We need to plan and fund the transition now — the longer we wait, the more extreme climate change will be, and the more disruptive the transition will be.

Global action on cutting methane pollution is falling short: Why this matters for agriculture

The Land Gap: Climate pledges favor unrealistic land-based carbon removal, ignoring our forests

This week, the University of Melbourne launched the second edition of The Land Gap Report, which looks closely at countries’ climate commitments and their implications for how land is to be used — and how forests need to be protected — to reach those targets.

COP30 rules for carbon markets: Will the new PACM removals strategy reduce emissions?

Study finds COP30 climate pledges lean heavily on land-based carbon removal over reducing emissions by protecting forests

Belém, Brazil (12 November 2025) — An analysis of national climate plans released today at the COP30 climate summit warns that countries are failing to carry out the core work required to reduce emissions by halting and reversing deforestation and forest degradation, and are instead pushing carbon removal schemes, such as large-scale tree planting, to levels that are far b

Major meat and dairy companies fall short in reporting their climate emissions

With COP30 underway in Belém, Brazil, global attention is turned toward national climate action. Few sectors of the economy sit more squarely at the crossroads of vulnerability and responsibility than agriculture. IATP has produced a new Meat and Dairy Climate Reporting Scorecard that utilizes growing regulatory pressure from climate-related disclosure rules as the backdrop to analyze the climate reporting of 14 major meat and dairy companies.

Feeding Climate Change: A scoring of major meat and dairy companies’ climate-related risk and emissions reporting

In this report, IATP introduces the Meat and Dairy Climate Reporting Scorecard, which confirms that the world’s major meat and dairy companies are falling short on transparent and reliable reporting of their climate risk and GHG emissions — a prerequisite for credible climate action — despite growing investor and regulatory pressure.
