Join the Changing Markets Foundation and Worldshapers for an evening celebrating the launch of The New Merchants of Doubt: The Corporate Playbook of Big Meat and Dairy to Delay, Distract and Derail Climate Action. The book expands on our flagship 2024 investigation of the same name — bringing together the report's findings with new analysis, case studies and insights into the corporate playbook used to shape public narratives, influence policy and slow progress on climate action from one of the most powerful global industries. The evening will gather campaigners, policymakers, journalists, researchers and partners to celebrate the publication, hear from author and Changing Markets CEO Nusa Urbancic, and other guest speakers, and unpack how to bring about change in the industry. Emissions from food systems are responsible for around a third of global temperature increases, and reducing super-pollutants like methane from agriculture are critical to averting tipping point, yet powerful agribusinesses continue to undermine climate action. This event will explore how we can remove these barriers and deliver change across food systems at speed and scale. Panellists include: Mikko Järvenpää, Founder and Executive Director of Worldshapers Jennifer Jacquet, Professor of Environmental Science and Policy at the Rosenstiel School of Marine, Atmospheric, and Earth Science at the University of Miami Jan Dutkiewicz, co-author of Feed the People! and Assistant Professor of Political Science in the Department of Social Science and Cultural Studies at the Pratt Institute ...and more. Chaired by Geoff Dembicki, Global Managing Editor at DeSmog and author of The Petroleum Papers
