Dairy companies among first to support new global ‘Pathways to Dairy Net Zero’ climate initiative
The new initiative, which aims to accelerate climate change action and reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across the dairy sector, is already backed by organizations representing approximately 30% of global milk production.
Pathways to Dairy Net Zero, a ground-breaking new climate initiative, is Sept. 22 during Climate Week and just prior to the United Nations (UN) Food Systems Summit. Forty leading organizations, including 11 of the 20 largest dairy companies in the world, already declared their support for the effort, according to the Global Dairy Platform, Rosemont, Ill. Collectively, these supporters represent approximately 30% of total milk production worldwide.
The new climate initiative demonstrates the global dairy sector’s commitment to reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions while continuing to produce nutritious foods for 6 billion people and provide for the livelihoods of one billion people.
