Hey David, if you’re not already familiar with them, you might be interested in the work of Dansk Vegetarisk Forening, an ACE Recommended Charity (that last link goes to the ACE report of their work). They influenced the equivalent of $65 million (USD) in Danish government funding toward plant-based foods. They stewarded a partnership between the Danish Government and the E.U. Presidency for the Plant Food Summit. And they launched the Danish Plant-Based Diplomacy initiative, supported by several farmers’ associations and other mainstream stakeholders (including pig farmers!). They were at COP in Brazil this year, hosting 10 different panels. Here’s a short post on what they aimed to do there.
SVB, another ACE Recommended Charity, was also at COP, as were various other effective animal advocacy orgs trying to address some of the issues you raise here.
I think the COP in Brazil was the climate COP of the climate agreement, not the CBD COP.
ProVeg International advocates on UN conferences and I think they prioritize which conferences are most useful. If they get enough donations, they will certainly attend every CBD COP. ;)
