Congratulations to the @FoodatCOP campaign for this achievement. They've been working hard on getting more sustainable food at COPs for a number of years now - great to see their grit and determination pay off. It is key that climate leaders, including summits, walk the talk

[Climate-Friendly Food at COP @FoodatCOP]

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

[Paul Newnham 🇦🇺 @paulnewnham]

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."
