Overview
Throughout this quarter, we have taken part in key moments, from Climate Week in New York, where global attention shifted from fossil fuels to food system emissions and biodiversity loss, to the UN General Assembly’s high-level meeting launching the UN Political Declaration, each step taking us closer to a more resilient food system.
Report releases
Protein Diversification engagement: Phase 1 progress report
This first progress report presents the findings and insights of the Protein Diversification engagement, which encourages 20 leading food retailers and manufacturers to diversify their protein portfolios to mitigate risks associated with animal agriculture and promote both healthy and sustainable diets. This first assessment enables investors to evaluate how protein diversification mitigates the climate, nature, and public health risks of animal protein exposure and creates financial opportunities.

Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) updates
2024 has been a watershed year for the international fight against AMR. In September, the UN meeting on AMR sparked global policy action on a crisis predicted to cause 39 million deaths and cut global GDP by 3.8% by 2050. As part of Investor Action on AMR, we released an investor statement, endorsed by 80 investors with over US $13 trillion in assets, outlined seven key demands, four of which were addressed.
