Key takeawaysThe Global Dairy Platform highlighted the challenges in advancing global dairy’s sustainability due to limited climate finance, aid cutbacks, and fragmented funding models. Limited climate finance, cutbacks in aid spending and fragmented funding mechanisms are key barriers to global dairy’s sustainable progress, according to Donald Moore, executive director of the Global Dairy Platform (GDP). The UN recommends global methane emissions to be reduced by a third by 2030 to keep global warming to 1.5°C; with agriculture being one of the main sources of methane emissions from human activity. “We need to connect those producers to a revenue stream that also funds some of that [sustainable farming] activity.”However, the global climate finance landscape is both fragmented and underdeveloped. Donald Moore, Global Dairy Platform executive director (Global Dairy Platform)“There’s hesitancy on behalf of the companies that would be willing to fund some of this activity,” Moore said.
