Plant Based Treaty in Action

To coincide with COP29, Plant Based Treaty is releasing a new chapter to the Safe and Just Report called Plant Based Treaty in Action.

Dozens of cities and hundreds of thousands of individuals, groups and businesses are coming together to call for a global Plant Based Treaty to make the food system Paris Aligned. The proposed treaty would be negotiated on three core principles of Redirect, Relinquish and Restore, and 40 suggested proposals. But what would a Plant Based Treaty look like in practice? Here it is in action…

Introducing plant-based donut economics

The Safe and Just report shines a light on the urgency of addressing the transgression of planetary boundaries beyond the critical climate crisis, and raising the alarm bell on interrelated tipping points. We are on track for a breakdown of Earth’s systems and societies unless bold action is taken on food systems. The devastating and even apocalyptic impact of animal agriculture on Earth’s planetary boundaries, from land-use changes, ocean dead zones, incessant heat waves and melting ice caps, to scorching forest fires, requires comprehensive solutions for shifting to plant-based diets, addressing food justice, and rewilding the Earth. By embracing the plant-based donut economics framework, we utilise an ethical, scientific and socio-economic systems approach to connect the scientific mandate to act with the Plant Based Treaty’s forward-thinking principles, policies, and detailed proposals, focusing on a just transition that includes everyone.
