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

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.
