Organizations look to see Canada take action in upcoming COP28 event

The Canadian Cattle Association, along with Ducks Unlimited Canada and the Nature Conservancy of Canada hosted a dialogue on on climate adaptation through sustainable livestock systems.

The event explored bridging the nexus of climate change and biodiversity loss through cross-cutting themes of sustainable production systems and food security as attendees discussed the implications of grassland conversion and sustainable food production as producers feed a growing population.

At the close of the event, the organizations were excited to highlight efforts currently underway on the Grasslands Conservation Initiative, an industry-led proposed initiative by CCA providing a multi-pronged approach to protect biodiversity, contribute to global food security, and restore agricultural lands and habitats.
