Two thirds of meals served at COP28 were vegan or vegetarian, which could make this year’s conference a model for future climate events. @lyse_mauvais reports:

You guys.... 👀 this is the foundation of what our group has been pushing for the past 3 1/2 (!) years!! COPs need to walk the talk with their menus. This is a big step in a productive direction 🙌 #CateringforClimateAction

Really important hearing from Vicki Burn, Manager, Catering & Accommodation for #COP28UAE on the Culinary Catering Strategy.
"The #sustainable catering strategy needs to be inclusive - that is affordable, tasty, and available. ⅔ plant based (vegan or vegetarian) is critical for health and planet. Reducing waste by working with venue partners. Packaging sustainably, which is the biggest challenge we have faced so far. We want to create a legacy."
