GFI estimated in 2023 that Meat contributes ~15% of global GHG but alt proteins account for less than 0.5% of climate financing. See also Alternative proteins are better for the environment

Plant-based foods provide a 4.4 gigaton (Gt) reduction in CO₂ equivalent (CO₂e) emissions per trillion dollars of investment as compared to 0.4 Gt for vehicles, 0.3 Gt for electricity, and 0.2 Gt for aviation

There is increasing evidence that eating less and meat and dairy is one of, if not the biggest ways to reduce your impact on climate change. Animal products are responsible for 15% of greenhouse gas emissions, more than the transport sector. No positive diet changes come remotely close to being as good for the climate as eating less meat and dairy. It might be impossible to stay under 1.5 degrees of warming without reducing meat. The good news is that plant-based meat alternatives often produce 30-90% less GHG emissions than meat does.
