Research findings confirm Hong Kong’s continued ‘superconnector’ role in global and regional supply chain transformation ACN Newswire

Research findings confirm Hong Kong’s continued ‘superconnector’ role in global and regional supply chain transformation

- Findings of a supply chain study commissioned by the HKTDC point out that even amid tense US-China relations, many US companies remain deeply engaged in the Chinese market, particularly in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area due to its unique and highly concentrated supplier network that is difficult to replace- Mainland enterprises are actively diversifying their supply chains and using Hong Kong as a supply chain management centre, with the city playing a key role in regional supply chain transformation- Hong Kong is a “superconnector” that serves as a crucial gateway for mainland enterprises to expand overseas and for global companies to access the Chinese Mainland market and regional supply chainsHONG KONG, Nov 13, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – Hong Kong’s status as the preeminent supply chain “superconnector” has been reaffirmed by a major new US-Hong Kong research initiative. This was one of the key findings of “Strategically Leveraging Supply Chains to Access the Asian Market”, a major new research initiative commissioned by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) and conducted by the Bay Area Council Economic Institute of the United States.At the heart of the study is a timely analysis of the ways in which the shift in US trade policy has triggered the accelerated reconfiguration of global supply chains, creating a raft of new challenges and opportunities along the way.While full details of the analysis will be published in December, preliminary findings introduced in the run-up to the 15th Asian Logistics, Maritime and Aviation Conference (ALMAC) indicate heightened geopolitical tensions, evolving trade policies, environmental pressures and technological advancements as becoming the collective catalyst for a supply chain revolution that is impacting every aspect of the global economy. In the wake of this mass recalibration, companies are reassessing their operations and looking to manage hitherto unencountered risks, ensuring that resilience is now prioritised alongside cost management and consistent competitiveness. This will inevitably impact the primacy of Asia’s role within this transformed landscape.The US research team was headed by Sean Randolph, Senior Director of the Bay Area Council Economic Institute, an acknowledged authority on economic and policy issues. Detailing the transformation underway, Mr Randolph said that the adoption of strategies such as reshoring, nearshoring and developing redundant supply routes by many global businesses is accelerating the regionalisation of supply chains. This shift, he said, has been partly driven by the regional trade agreements in place, but also by the need for greater supply chain security and a desire for proximity.Expanding on this, Mr Randolph said: “Companies are diversifying their manufacturing bases, while relocating certain activities from China to other countries in Southeast Asia, India and Mexico – adopting the so-called ‘China+1’ strategy in order to ensure resilience and reduce risk exposure.“At the same time, despite the ongoing bilateral friction, it is notable that many US companies remain deeply engaged with China. This is largely on account of the country’s unique concentration of suppliers – especially in the case of such regions as the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA) – which cannot be easily replaced or replicated elsewhere. Indeed, a number of recent surveys and announcements – including major Chinese Mainland investment commitments by businesses of the stature of Nvidia and Apple – have clearly demonstrated that, for many US businesses, China remains a key locale, with their engagement at least partly due to the indispensability of the broader regional supply chains.”Hong Kong can benefit as mainland enterprises look to diversify supply chainsNoting that the new tariffs and President Trump’s changed trade priorities have given some countries comparative advantages when exporting to the US, HKTDC Director of Research Irina Fan said: “In a development likely to bolster China’s stature as a production base, following early November’s US-China trade agreement, Chinese imports to the United States will be subject to a 20% tariff rate (10% reciprocal tariff + 10% fentanyl related) for the period 10 November 2025 to 10 November 2026. This comparatively low tariff level puts China-based suppliers on a par with many of their Southeast Asia counterparts, while providing them with a significant competitive advantage over countries with a higher tariff rate.”Maintaining that this does not suggest that Chinese Mainland businesses are complacent about their status, Ms Fan added: “Currently, many mainland enterprises are proactively taking steps to diversify and strengthen their supply chains, with a significant number of them leveraging Hong Kong as their supply chain management centre. Overall, Hong Kong is clearly set to play an increasingly important role in the ongoing supply chain transformation process, a change that is being driven by the region’s deeper economic integration and the new generation of supply chain networks.”The report cited the electric vehicle (EV) sector as one example where Hong Kong is already playing a pivotal role in the regional supply chain transformation process. As mainland-based automotive manufacturers, as well as their global counterparts, prioritise the expansion of EV and battery production in Southeast Asia, Hong Kong has more than proved its worth as a crucial investment and financial hub, acting as an effective conduit for significant capital to be channelled into countries such as Indonesia, Thailand and Malaysia. More generally, recent investment data also clearly indicated that Chinese Mainland companies are increasingly utilising Hong Kong as the support platform for many of their regional projects.This outcome is likely to be bolstered by Hong Kong’s wide-ranging financial and professional services sectors, as well as the city’s agility in adapting to technological transformation and the evolving regulatory landscape – attributes that collectively position it as an indispensable nexus for international businesses.Summing up the report’s assessment of Hong Kong, Ms Fan said: “Essentially, this new research highlights Hong Kong’s vital roles as both a superconnector and a super-value-adder, while confirming the city’s status as the key enabler for any mainland enterprise looking to expand overseas, and simultaneously serving as a gateway for any global company looking to access the revitalised regional supply chains and the China market. This ubiquity is reflected within Hong Kong itself, with the city now home to an ever-higher number of overseas businesses, including 1,390 US companies, as of June 2024.”Flagship logistics event set to address regional supply chain developmentsThe rise of regional supply chains and the implications for global trade will be among the many key issues addressed at the upcoming ALMAC, which will be held at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre on 17 and 18 November. Organised by the Hong Kong SAR Government and the HKTDC, the event will bring together some 80 distinguished speakers and is expected to attract 2,300 participants from more than 40 countries and regions. In line with the policies outlined in the Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th Communist Party of China Central Committee and the 2025 Policy Address, the event will focus on many of the recent moves to further enhance Hong Kong’s status as an international shipping centre and global logistics hub.As the annual flagship event for the logistics, maritime and aviation sectors, ALMAC 2025 is running under the theme “Collaboration and Growth in the New Trade Landscape”, reflecting the event’s commitment to exploring trends and opportunities in the fields of logistics, shipping and air freight. Ultimately, the aims of the event are to foster the high-quality development of logistics and supply chain management, deepen international engagement, and facilitate practical cooperation throughout the logistics industry.Report and photo download: https://bit.ly/49Q8aFI“Strategically Leveraging Supply Chains to Access the Asian Market” is the major new research initiative commissioned by the HKTDC and conducted by the Bay Area Council Economic Institute of the United States.

Italian businesses eye Hong Kong as key gateway to Asia ACN Newswire

Italian businesses eye Hong Kong as key gateway to Asia

HONG KONG, Nov 12, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – Hong Kong is seen as a priority market and an essential trading partner by many of Italy’s increasingly Asia-focused businesses. This is among the key findings of a new report – Italian Companies’ Asian Expansion Priorities: Innovation, Healthcare and Retail Sectors – jointly conducted by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) and the Milan-headquartered Italy China Council Foundation (ICCF).The research forms part of the forthcoming edition of the HKTDC’s signature promotion campaign Think Business, Think Hong Kong (TBTHK), set to take place in Milan, Italy on 27 November. The event will bring together over 700 business leaders, officials and investors from both Hong Kong and Italy to discover business and partnership opportunities in Asia.Primarily targeted at Italian companies with business in Hong Kong, the Chinese Mainland and Asia, the research survey was conducted in Q3 2025, covering 172 Italian C-suite and senior business leaders.Commenting on the significance of the report, Irina Fan, Director of HKTDC Research, said: “According to the survey findings, 77% of Italian businesses are genuinely enthusiastic when it comes to expanding in Asia, with the Chinese Mainland and Hong Kong being their priority markets.”“It is particularly gratifying to see Hong Kong poised to play such a vital role in facilitating the Asia expansion of such businesses. When asked about how Hong Kong can facilitate Italian business expansion in Asia over the next three years, some 93% of respondents believe Hong Kong can effectively support their future Asia expansion plans. Its unrivalled status as a strategic gateway to many Asian markets, as well as its capabilities as a logistics and supply chain management hub, were also widely acknowledged,” she added.Facilitating expansion and leveraging trade agreementsWhen it came to future opportunities, the survey also highlighted the relatively limited awareness and low utilisation of many regional trade agreements. In particular, two agreements emerged as having significant potential to transform the commercial relationship between Hong Kong and Italy.The Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) is the world’s largest free trade agreement, encompassing the ASEAN bloc, the Chinese Mainland, Japan, South Korea, Australia and New Zealand. While 51% of respondents are currently capitalising on its benefits, huge untapped potential remains. Should Hong Kong’s application to join the RCEP be successful, 60% of Italian enterprises anticipate that it would unlock new economic opportunities and strengthen their engagement with the city.Another pivotal agreement is the Closer Economic Partnership Arrangement (CEPA), which has provided Hong Kong-based suppliers of goods and services with privileged access to the vast Chinese Mainland market since 2003. Despite CEPA having been in place for many years, some 80% of the Italian businesses surveyed were unaware of the agreement or how to leverage its benefits. This reveals a major opportunity, as only 12% are currently making use of CEPA’s advantages through strategic partnerships in Hong Kong.Putting the survey and its findings into perspective, Sara Berloto, Head of Research for the ICCF, said: “The survey highlighted many Italian companies can better leverage several existing regional trade agreements. This was most notably the case with the RCEP and CEPA. Overall, there is a real need for comprehensive information, training, and institutional support initiatives in order to ensure companies — especially SMEs — can heighten their strategic utilisation of such agreements.”Apparent opportunities amid already strong tiesLooking at the broader picture, the scale of opportunity available to Hong Kong SMEs is striking. Most notably, 77% of Italian companies plan to expand within Asia over the next three years, with the Chinese Mainland, Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea and India cited as their preferred markets.By sector, 95% of Italian innovation and technology companies plan to expand in Asia, followed by 88% of healthcare companies and 86% of enterprises in the retail /wholesale sector. These findings align well with Hong Kong's new industry focus on innovation and technology, the life sciences and healthtech, as well as the raft of ambitious e-commerce initiatives the city has committed to.Such developments would further enhance the strong business relationship between Italy and Hong Kong. In 2024, trade between the two amounted to US$8.3 billion (HK$64.5 billion), positioning Italy as Hong Kong’s fourth-largest EU trading partner and export market and its third-largest EU import market.As of the end of 2023, Hong Kong was the third most significant destination for Italian investment in Asia. Hong Kong investors also made substantial investments in Italy, with the city being the third-largest Asian investor in the country. As of 2024, there were some 200 Italian companies active in Hong Kong.Think Business, Think Hong KongThe full survey report will be launched at TBTHK in Milan on 27 November.After successful Paris and Jakarta editions, TBTHK Milan will bring together some 80 delegates from Hong Kong, including government officials, top business and creative industry leaders, corporate service professionals, investors and start-up entrepreneurs, for a day of dialogue, networking and partnership-building with Italian companies keen to expand into Asia.The mega promotion will feature a symposium and an exhibition comprising the Business Support Zone and InnoVenture Salon, where some 20 Hong Kong service providers and start-ups will showcase their flagship products and solutions. Business matching meetings will be arranged to facilitate deals and collaborations between Italian and Hong Kong companies. The programme also includes the Hong Kong Dinner. At the symposium, Paul Chan, Financial Secretary of the Hong Kong SAR, Prof Frederick Ma, HKTDC Chairman, along with representatives from the Italian government, will deliver remarks. High-profile speakers from various industries will share their insights at the Plenary Session. The agenda also includes five thematic sessions, each dedicated to a strategic area including finance and trade, innovation and technology, global supply chains, as well as creativity and design. These sessions reflect shared priorities between Hong Kong and Italy and offer in-depth insights into practical collaboration opportunities.

New Report Reveals Brazilians Face 252 Scam Encounters Annually Despite High Confidence in Spotting Fraud ACN Newswire

New Report Reveals Brazilians Face 252 Scam Encounters Annually Despite High Confidence in Spotting Fraud

THE HAGUE, NETHERLANDS, Nov 12, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - The Global Anti-Scam Alliance (GASA) will release its State of Scam Brazil Report 2025 on November 13, revealing an alarming disconnect between confidence and vulnerability: while 75% of Brazilians believe they can recognize scams, 70% have fallen victim to at least one within the past year. The report estimates total losses at R$99 billion, underscoring the urgent need for coordinated action across sectors.State of Scams in BrazilPart of a landmark global study covering 42 markets and interviewing 46,000 people worldwide, the Brazilian findings from 1,000 adults paint a troubling picture of daily vulnerability. Brazilians encounter scams on average once every day and a half - totaling 252 encounters per person annually. These encounters occur most frequently through phone calls (65%), text messages (55%), and email (55%), with shopping scams emerging as the most common type of fraud."Scams have become part of everyday life in Brazil. The fact that most people feel confident spotting scams, yet continue to fall for them, shows how sophisticated and convincing these schemes have become," said Renata Salvini, GASA Chapter Director Brazil. "Education, prevention, collaboration, and accountability must go hand in hand if we want to stop this cycle."The Human Cost Beyond Financial LossThe report reveals that 86% of scam victims felt very or somewhat stressed by their experience, while 59% reported significant or moderate impacts on their mental wellbeing. On average, each victim has been scammed 1.9 times in the past year, demonstrating how repeat victimization compounds both financial and psychological harm.Despite the prevalence of scams, reporting remains disappointingly low. While just over two-thirds of those exposed have reported an incident, 60% of those who did report said either no action was taken (44%) or they were unsure of the outcome (16%). Among those who never reported, 44% cited the belief that reporting wouldn't make a difference - reflecting a troubling perception that the problem is unmanageable.Taking Action: Cross-Sector SolutionsIn response to these findings, GASA will host a webinar on November 13, 2025, at 11:00 AM (Brasília Time) titled "State of Scams in Brazil: Turning the Tide on Scams." The session will explore concrete strategies and coordinated actions to combat the growing scam epidemic in Brazil, featuring a distinguished panel of experts sharing insights from the legal, technology, and financial sectors.Register for the webinar: https://streamyard.com/watch/wGnWNAayknPDRead the report:Read the full reportNovember 13 webinarRead the full release, including methodology & boilerplateContact InformationMetje van der MeerMarketing Directormetje.vandermeer@gasa.orgSOURCE: Global Anti-Scam Alliance Copyright 2025 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

品創控股(8066.HK)業務轉型成效顯著 首三季除稅前溢利超7500萬港元 ACN Newswire

品創控股(8066.HK)業務轉型成效顯著 首三季除稅前溢利超7500萬港元

香港, 2025年11月12日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 品創控股(8066.HK)近日公告,截至2025年9月30日止的九個月,其電子商務與人工智能(AI)語音技術兩大新業務合計錄得未經審核除稅前溢利超過7,500萬港元,顯示「私域電商+人工智能」的雙輪驅動戰略協同效應強勁,表現持續亮眼。此前的中期業績已顯示集團成功扭虧為盈,錄得公司擁有人應佔純利約4,040萬港元,其中私域電商動創與AI語音技術平台賽博幻境分別貢獻約5,490萬及600萬港元收入。此次九個月數據進一步證實,集團的戰略轉型已趨於穩健,並持續獲得財務上的正向回報。AI語音專利通過初審,進一步鞏固技術護城河更值得關注的是,賽博幻境所建立的獨特「情緒語音數據庫」。有別於傳統僅能識別語義的語音數據,該數據庫透過區塊鏈遊戲場景,採集了包含12種核心情緒維度的語音素材,有效解決當前語音AI「能聽懂字句,卻難理解情緒」的行業困境。基於此技術優勢,賽博幻境已就相關的模型訓練方法、語音辨識方法、裝置、設備及存儲介質等核心技術,向國家知識產權局提交發明專利申請,並已於2025年10月14日獲初步審查合格通知。待專利成功獲授權後,預期將用於開發專有AI語音技術算法,從而強化集團的競爭優勢,使集團在專業語音技術領域處於領先地位。數據驅動技術,技術賦能業務,協同效應顯著然而,這項專利的價值遠不止於技術壁壘本身,其真正的潛力在於與集團私域電商平台動創協同所構建的閉環生態,為持續升級提供了動力。動創擁有超過20萬高黏性會員,這些用戶授權的真實語音數據,為賽博幻境提供了穩定、高質量且具情緒維度的語音素材來源,有效支撐其情緒語音數據庫的持續擴充與優化。與此同時,AI語音技術的不斷迭代與升級,又進一步反哺電商業務。通過更精準的情緒識別與語義理解,動創平台能夠為用戶提供更個性化、更貼近真實需求的交互體驗,從而增強用戶黏性與平台競爭力,吸引更多用戶參與並貢獻數據。此等「數據驅動技術,技術賦能業務」的良性循環,不僅大幅降低了外部數據獲取的成本,更構建起競爭對手難以在短期內複製的數據壁壘與技術門檻。目前,已有3家領先企業就AI情緒語音數據庫的合作與集團展開磋商,進一步驗證了該技術的商業價值與市場潛力,為品創控股在情緒AI賽道的持續成長注入動力。據估算,全球情緒AI市場預計在2027年突破500億美元,品創控股有望憑藉其先發優勢及技術壁壘,在智能客服、人形機器人、心理健康等高增長的細分賽道中搶佔先機。在AI從「功能化」邁向「人性化」的產業升級浪潮中,品創控股憑藉「私域電商+人工智能」的雙輪驅動佈局,為未來成長開辟了更廣闊的空間。 Copyright 2025 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.

Mooreast to Commence Feasibility Studies to Develop up to 500 MW of Renewable Energy Projects in Timor-Leste ACN Newswire

Mooreast to Commence Feasibility Studies to Develop up to 500 MW of Renewable Energy Projects in Timor-Leste

SINGAPORE, Nov 12, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Singapore Exchange Catalist-listed Mooreast Holdings Ltd. (“Mooreast” or the “Group”) announced today that it will commence feasibility studies this month to develop large-scale renewable energy (“RE”) projects of up to 500 megawatts (“MW”) in Timor-Leste.The feasibility studies have been confirmed to progress after Mooreast entered into a Letter of Intent (“LOI”) with Secretario de Estado de Electricidade Agua e Saneamento (“SEEAS”), the secretariat for Electricity, Water and Sanitation under Timor-Leste’s Ministry of Public Works, to develop between 300 and 500 MW of floating RE over a five- to 10-year period.Mooreast said it will conduct due diligence and assessment of locations off Timor-Leste’s coastline that would be suitable for development of projects to generate energy from floating wind, solar, hydroelectric, tidal, current and wave.The LOI is part of a broader proposal for Mooreast to undertake a proposed RE Development Plan in two phases. The plan is intended to accelerate development of the country’s significant untapped RE resources, including excellent wind potential along the north and south coasts.Timor-Leste, a country of approximately 15,000 square kilometres that shares borders with Indonesia and Australia, currently relies mostly on diesel-fired power plants to meet its energy needs. It has targeted 100% national electrification by 2030 by substantially diversifying into RE.Timor-Leste gained full independence in 2002 and was formally admitted as the 11th member of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations at the 47th ASEAN Summit held in Kuala Lumpur last month.As part of the RE Development Plan, Mooreast will also be engaged to upgrade grid transmission and infrastructure for RE integration, set up pilot microgrids for remote communities, explore the potential to export power and hydrogen fuel and introduce smart-grid technologies and systems for energy storage.Mooreast will have exclusivity for 12 months to conduct feasibility studies, evaluate and propose commercial and financing models. Both parties will then enter into a formal Project Development Agreement (“PDA”), likely in the first half of 2026.The PDA is expected to include, amongst others: i) joint-ventures to develop the projects; ii) establishing investment and financing models including green finance and fiscal incentives as well as co-investment opportunities with sovereign funds and financial institutions; iii) defining the responsibilities of the state-owned electricity and energy company, Electricidade de Timor-Leste (“EDTL”), relating to necessary rights and permits; iv) defining the role of Mooreast, including for Engineering, Procurement, Construction and Installation (“EPCI”) and floating RE; and v) the terms of long-term Power Purchase Agreements.A specialist in the offshore and marine sector providing mooring and rigging solutions, Mooreast is Asia’s only ultra-high power anchor designer and manufacturer. It has been expanding its presence in Europe and Asia amid increasing commercialisation of floating wind energy projects worldwide.Mr Eirik Ellingsen, CEO of Mooreast, said: “Timor-Leste has significant potential for floating renewable energy, which can be harnessed for economic growth and to achieve national goals of electrification and sustainability. We are excited by the opportunity to leverage our capabilities and networks to achieve a win-win formula.”About Mooreast Holdings Ltd.A leader in total mooring solutions, Mooreast offers design, engineering, fabrication, supply and logistics, installation and commissioning of mooring systems to the offshore oil & gas, marine and offshore renewable energy industries.With close to three decades of experience, Mooreast is applying its track record and expertise in mooring solutions to floating renewable energy projects, in particular floating offshore wind farms. It has successfully participated in developmental and prototype projects for floating offshore wind turbines in Japan and Europe.For more information, please visit https://mooreast.com/Media & Investor Contact Information:WeR1 Consultants Pte LtdIsaac Tang, mooreast@wer1.net (M: +65 9748 0688) Copyright 2025 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

CNGR IPO: Global pCAM Leader Expanding Worldwide with Premium Clients

HONG KONG, Nov 12, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – On November 7, CNGR Advanced Material (2579.HK), a globally renowned new energy materials enterprise, commenced its IPO subscription. The company is currently in the midst of its IPO process, entering the final sprint phase of its Hong Kong listing. Expected to debut on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on November 17, CNGR Advanced Material is poised to become China's second core new energy industry enterprise to achieve dual A+H share listings following CATL, ushering in a new chapter of synergistic development between capital and industry.It is reported that CNGR Advanced Material primarily engages in the R&D, production, and sales of new energy battery materials centered on pCAM, as well as new energy metal products. Through years of dedicated cultivation, the company has established a solid industry position. According to Frost & Sullivan, since 2020, the company has ranked first globally in shipments of nickel-based and cobalt-based pCAM for lithium-ion batteries for five consecutive years. In 2024, its total pCAM product sales value topped the global market, capturing a 21.8% market share.Global Business Expansion Fortifies Resilience for DevelopmentAs a global leader in new energy materials, CNGR Advanced Material has established worldwide influence across two dimensions: supply chain and production bases. In terms of supply chain, the company has built a global supply chain network. Through this globalized supply chain layout, it has successfully overcome geographical constraints, establishing a high-quality resource acquisition network covering core production regions worldwide.This strategy not only ensures stable supply of critical minerals like nickel and cobalt but also significantly reduces reliance on single-region resources, fortifying resilience for sustained business operations. Meanwhile, the global supply chain system enables comprehensive evaluation of key indicators, including supplier quotations, transportation costs, and delivery cycles across the globe, facilitating selection of optimal procurement combinations. Furthermore, by establishing an efficient and collaborative logistics distribution network, the company streamlines intermediate transportation links, shortens transit cycles, and achieves precise control over logistics costs, laying a solid foundation for enhancing overall profitability.Regarding production base layout, as of June 30, 2025, CNGR Advanced Material has established four production bases in China, three in Indonesia, one in Morocco, and is planning additional bases in Indonesia and South Korea.

國際重要研究揭示:工業化畜牧業正威脅氣候目標 ACN Newswire

國際重要研究揭示:工業化畜牧業正威脅氣候目標

倫敦, 2025年11月12日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 一項發表在《 Animals 》期刊上的新研究指出,工業化畜牧業是推動氣候與生物多樣性危機的最強大、卻長期被忽視的力量之一。該研究題為《被忽視的目標:為何工業化畜牧業必須成為氣候議程的核心》,綜合分析了47項國際研究的證據,得出結論:要實現全球氣候目標,必須減少畜牧業生產,並轉向以植物為基礎的食品體系。主要見解全球研究顯示,畜牧業每年約佔全球溫室氣體排放總量的12%至20%,其中最全面的研究得出的比例最高。採用最新核算方法(包括森林砍伐、底拖網捕撈及某些大氣污染物的冷卻效應)後發現,當今全球變暖的52%可歸因於動物性農業。動物性農業佔據了全球農業用地的80%以上,卻僅提供全球18%的熱量和37%的蛋白質,這使得在未來人口快速增長的情況下,滿足人類食物需求變得更加困難。在其他由食物生產引起的環境影響中,該行業還造成了50%的水體富營養化和32%的土壤酸化。若生產趨勢不改變,包括新興經濟體在內的快速發展地區,預計將出現畜牧業排放的最劇烈增長。生物多樣性研究表明,以肉類為主的飲食結構可能導致三至四倍於植物性飲食的生物多樣性損失。為何植物性轉變至關重要該分析從環境角度提出了有力的論據,呼籲改變飲食結構。轉向以植物為主的飲食模式可顯著減少溫室氣體排放,減輕森林與淡水系統的壓力,並降低飼料作物與糞肥造成的營養污染。這種轉變不僅能緩解氣候影響,還能幫助恢復生態系統,並保護野生動植物。對政策制定者的啟示作者呼籲,各類全球氣候框架——包括氣候峰會和《巴黎協定》下的國家計劃——必須納入明確的動物性產品生產與消費削減目標。若不應對這一領域,將全球升溫控制在遠低於2°C(更不用說1.5°C)的希望將大打折扣。為確保措施有效且公平,分析強調,解決方案還必須考慮地區現實。在發展中經濟體中,飲食轉型應與糧食安全、文化偏好及農民的公平生計相協調。食品與氣候的轉折點“在COP30等關鍵氣候與環境政策制定會議上,應對動物性農業給予更多關注的時機早已迫在眉睫。”首席作者珍妮·梅斯(Jenny Mace)表示,“若不大幅縮減動物性農業的規模,要實現氣候及其他可持續發展目標將極為困難。”合著者、獸醫學教授安德魯·奈特(Andrew Knight)指出:“工業化畜牧業是全球氣候政策中的關鍵盲區。然而,將食品體系改革——尤其是減少動物性產品——置於氣候行動的核心位置,將為人類與地球帶來巨大的裨益。”另一位合著者、動物協作組織(Sinergia Animal)的費爾南達·維埃拉(Fernanda Vieira)評論道:“工業化規模的畜牧場是生物多樣性喪失、森林砍伐、氣候變化以及人畜共患病出現的重要推手。如果我們不正視這些相互關聯的問題,實現氣候、健康與可持續發展目標的前景將遙不可及。”更多資訊:Jenny MaceCentre for Ethics, Philosophy and Public Affairs, University of St Andrews, UKjm609@st-andrews.ac.ukProf. Andrew KnightSchool of Environment and Science, Griffth University, Australiaandrewknightvet@gmail.com來源: Sustainable Pet Food Foundation Copyright 2025 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.

Climate Goals Threatened by Industrialised Animal Farming, Reveals Key International Study ACN Newswire

Climate Goals Threatened by Industrialised Animal Farming, Reveals Key International Study

LONDON, Nov 11, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - A new study in Animals highlights that industrialized animal farming is one of the most powerful - yet persistently neglected - forces driving the climate and biodiversity crises. The analysis, "The Missing Target: Why Industrialized Animal Farming Must Be at the Core of the Climate Agenda," synthesizes evidence from 47 international studies and concludes that reducing livestock production and embracing plant-based food systems is essential for meeting global climate goals.Major InsightsAcross global research, livestock farming contributes an estimated 12-20% of all greenhouse gas emissions annually, with the most comprehensive studies yielding the highest figures.The most modern accounting methods, which include the impacts of deforestation, bottom trawling and cooling effects from certain atmospheric pollutants, reveal that 52% of present-day global warming is attributable to animal agriculture.Animal agriculture occupies over 80% of agricultural land, while providing only 18% of calories and 37% of protein consumed worldwide, making it difficult to meet the needs of a fast-growing future population.Among other food-originating environmental impacts, the sector also creates 50% of eutrophication and 32% of soil acidification.Rapidly developing regions including emerging economies are projected to experience the sharpest growth in livestock emissions unless production trends shift.Biodiversity studies reveal that meat-heavy diets can create three to four times greater biodiversity losses compared to predominantly plant-based diets.Why a Plant-Based Shift MattersThe analysis makes a compelling environmental case for dietary change. Transitioning toward plant-forward eating patterns would drastically cut greenhouse gas emissions, reduce pressure on forests and freshwater systems, and curb nutrient pollution from feed crops and manure. Such a shift would not only mitigate climate impacts but also help restore ecosystems and safeguard wildlife.Implications for PolicymakersThe authors urge that global climate frameworks-such as climate summits and national plans under the Paris Agreement-must integrate clear targets for reducing animal-product production and consumption. Without tackling this sector, the chances of limiting global warming to well below 2°C (let alone 1.5°C) are significantly compromised.To be effective and fair, the analysis stresses, solutions must also consider regional realities. In developing economies, dietary transitions should align with food security, cultural preferences, and equitable livelihoods for farmers.A Turning Point for Food and Climate"The time is long overdue for greater attention on animal agriculture at key climate and environmental policy-making events such as COP30" stated lead author Jenny Mace. "It would be incredibly difficult to achieve climate and other sustainability targets without a significant downsizing of animal agriculture."Stated co-author veterinary Professor Andrew Knight, "Industrial livestock farming represents a critical blind spot in global climate policy. However, placing food system reform - particularly the reduction of animal-based products - at the centre of climate action could unlock enormous benefits for both people and the planet."Co-author Fernanda Vieira of Sinergia Animal commented that, "Industrial-scale farms are a profound driver of biodiversity loss, deforestation, climate change, and the emergence of zoonotic diseases. If we fail to confront these interconnected issues, the prospect of achieving meaningful progress toward our climate, health, and sustainability goals will remain out of reach."FURTHER INFORMATION:Jenny MaceCentre for Ethics, Philosophy and Public Affairs, University of St Andrews, UKjm609@st-andrews.ac.ukProf. Andrew KnightSchool of Environment and Science, Griffth University, Australiaandrewknightvet@gmail.comSOURCE: Sustainable Pet Food Foundation Copyright 2025 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.
