The impact industrial animal agriculture has on the UN's SDGs

Laura Strangeway Head of Food Systems Transition at Compassion in World Farming explores the impact industrial animal agriculture has on the Sustainable Development Goals with Peter Stevenson, OBE, the charity’s Chief Policy Advisor.

When they were adopted back in 2015, the 2030 UN Sustainable Development Goals marked a crucial milestone in global efforts towards achieving sustainable development and a roadmap for businesses, governments and civil society.

But with just five years left, the world is still well-off track. Peter explains why progress towards achieving the 2030 UN SDGs is so slow, and what can be done to accelerate progress.
