Why climate finance for livestock?
Climate finance is the key to unlocking sustainable transformation in the livestock sector, particularly in low-and middle-income countries. Yet livestock remains critically underfunded, despite its pivotal role in climate adaptation and mitigation. Our evidence briefs provide the tools and insights you need to quantify emissions, build compelling investment cases, and secure vital funding for livestock mitigation and adaptation projects.
