A group of 65 scientists signed a demand letter calling upon the mayors of cities worldwide to slash the amount of meat and dairy products served on school menus. The letter is signed by a diverse group of researchers from Spain, France, Sweden, Denmark, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Canada, Germany, the Philippines, and the United States. 

65位科学家签署了一封要求信，呼吁全球各城市的市长大幅削减学校菜单上的肉类和奶制品的数量。该要求信的签名者包括来自西班牙、法国、瑞典、丹麦、英国、瑞士、加拿大、德国、菲律宾和美国的各类科研人员。

“Scientific consensus of currently observed and projected future climate and biodiversity impacts clearly calls for the rapid transformation of our society at all scales and across all sectors, in order to maintain a safe climate and planet for the future of humanity,” the letter states. 

该要求信宣称：“对于当前观测及预测的现在与未来的气候和生物多样性影响，科学界已经达成共识；根据这一共识，我们的社会，包括所有层面（地方、国家和全球）以及各行各业，都明显需要进行迅速的改革，以便为人类的未来维护安全的气候和星球（地球）。”

The scientists explain that mayors have the authority to make an impact in terms of public policy, citing recent victories such as the expansion of Meatless Mondays at all 1,700 NYC public schools implemented by New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio and Brooklyn Borough President Eric L. Adams. 

科学家们解释称市长有权力在公共政策方面发挥作用，并举出了最近的一些成功事迹为例，譬如纽约市长比尔·白思豪（Bill de Blasio）和布鲁克林区长埃里克·亚当斯（Eric L. Adams）实施的一项政策，将“无肉星期一”（Meatless Mondays）计划推广到纽约市全部1,700所公立学校。

“To create a future that is healthy for both citizens and the planet,” the letter states. “We call on mayors today to reduce meat in the meals served in our public canteens and to increase plant-based foods.” 

该要求信宣称：“为了创建市民和地球的健康未来，我们呼吁市长们现在就减少公共食堂供应的肉食并增加植物性食品。”

The letter will be delivered during the Milan Urban Food Policy Pact & C40 global cities summits in France that start on October 7, where the scientists have made themselves available to discuss the research about the climate impact of animal agriculture.

该要求信将提交到从10月7日（和9日）开始在法国（和丹麦）举行的《米兰城市食品政策公约》（MUFPP）和“C40联盟”的全球城市峰会。在这些峰会期间，科学家们可以为公众探讨畜牧业对气候影响方面的研究。
