This year we will be finalising our Social Impact Goal, holding our First Quarter board meeting in Italy in the first week of April. We will be hosting our Global Conference on Sustainable Beef in Uruguay at the end of September/ early October and continue working on Roadmap projects that deliver on our Climate, Nature Positive and Animal Welfare Goals.
All of these are in the planning process, so please let us know if you want to help out or be involved in planning. As a matter of course, we will reach out with specific requests to National Roundtables, and all agendas and proposals are presented to the Board for approval.
We will aim to be involved in the Climate CoP (29) again this year in Baku. The pre meeting in Bonn in June would also be worth attending. We also have the ambition to represent our members at the Convention on Biological Diversity CoP in Colombia at the end of October, as long as we can raise the funds to engage in each of these effectively.
All of our Working Groups and our Communications Council will be scheduling meetings in the coming weeks. If you need anyone to be added to their distribution lists, please let us know.
Our first 2024 Webinar on 25th of January will take a deeper look at the FAO Pathways towards lower emissions – A global assessment of the greenhouse gas emissions and mitigation options from livestock agrifood systems report, and we will hear from experts on some of the specific strategies in feed, health and breeding / genetics that can deliver more beef with lower impact.

If you have specific requests for Webinar topics, let us know and we will try to schedule them over the coming months. We aim to host a GRSB Webinar a month, and hold additional communications webinars when relevant.
I will be travelling to Cattle Con in Orlando, FL at the end of January and hope to be able to meet some of you there. It is always an excellent opportunity to meet members and make new connections. Many of our Board and EC members will be there, as will Katie Ambrose. Let me know if you would like to meet up, or come along to the US Roundtable for Sustainable Beef Booth on February 1st from 1:30-3PM.
We look forward to seeing and hearing from you on our calls and at events over the coming months, and we will keep you posted as to where and when there are opportunities to meet either virtually or face to face.
