Climate Activist Pushes Meat and Dairy 'Damage Tax' – Will Farmers Be Forced to Pay Up?

"When we eat meat and dairy, this is causing 20% of all greenhouse gas emissions, so it's damaging a lot of things in the world."

"Climate change is caused 20% by meat and dairy, so the producers of meat and dairy should pay for the damage they cause."

"When I damage the window of my neighbour, I have to repair this damage, but meat and dairy processors also have to repair the damage they cause on others, and in the future."

– Jeroom Remmers, managing director of the True Animal Protein Price Coalition, speaking at COP29.
