Latest Plan to Slow Climate Change: Eat Less Meat Raising animals for food is a major contributor to climate change, responsible for an estimated 14.5 of all global emissions. The Climate, Land, Ambition & Rights Alliance has presented a self-described “radical” plan to keep global temperatures from rising. The group recommends limiting individual meat consumption to about two five-ounce servings per week. The plan would fundamentally alter the way food is produced and would help solve biodiversity loss, violations of indigenous rights and food insecurity.
