Five practical actions towards low-carbon livestock
Action 1. Boosting efficiency of livestock production and resource use
Action 2. Intensifying recycling efforts and minimizing losses for a circular bio-economy
Action 3 Capitalizing on nature-based solutions to ramp up carbon offsets
Action 4. Striving for healthy, sustainable diets and accounting for protein alternatives
Action 5. Developing policy measures to drive change

Tackling livestock emissions .. a systems approach
• Need to account for the diversity of livestock production systems
• Appreciating diverse roles that livestock play in different contexts .. motivation
• The sources of emissions vary for different livestock systems
• Different GHGs work differently and these vary for different systems
• Mitigation approaches need to be tailored to different environments
• Need to enhance synergies• productivity• Adaptation to climate change
• Enhanced resilience
• Need to manage tradeoffs with other sustainability objectives• Food and nutrition security
• Livelihoods and economic growth
• Animal health and welfare (also as it relates to public health)• Climate and natural resource use
