The role of a plant-based food system in helping to reduce carbon emissions\, however\, typically went unacknowledged. The Plant-Based Councils (PBC) campaign aims to change that. Recognising the r ole that councils can play in facilitating and normalising plant-based foo d\, it has successfully secured commitments from 13 councils to pass plant -based motions or policies\, with many committing to 100% plant-based cate ring for all internal meetings and events. This talk will cover: The envir onmental importance of switching to a plant-based food system The strategi c decision to focus on councils How councils and councillors are approache d about the campaign You will also learn how you can help the campaign at different levels of involvement\, from emailing your local councillor to s tarting your own PBC chapter.
