A coalition of investors is calling on McDonald’s, KFC, and other fast food suppliers to take swift action on climate change.

The group, with around $6.5 trillion under management, want the chains to cut carbon and water risks in their dairy and meat suppliers.

Animal agriculture, they argue, is one of the highest emitting sectors without a low CO2 plan.

McDonald’s says it has put in place strong climate targets for suppliers.

• Meat, veg, nuts – a diet designed to feed 10bn
• Is meat too hot for politicians?
• Meat substitutes ‘exceeding salt limits’

The investors group have targeted some of the largest companies in the global fast food sector that’s said to be worth $570bn.

As well as McDonald’s, these include Domino’s Pizza, Burger King, Chipotle Mexican Grill, Wendy’s, Pizza Hut and KFC.
