Article 15 ~We, the members of the Human Family, commit to reducing the large-scale farming of animals. Despite livestock being the world’s leading emitter of methane, the role of animal agriculture in climate change has been largely ignored during climate conferences.
Furthermore, the increased demand for raising animals for human consumption is leading to the destruction of the rainforests and rural land that many of our brothers and sisters call home; causing human rights abuses, poverty, and violence.
