COP Conferences Have Always Sidelined Animal Ag – Meet The Group Trying To Change That

At COP28, food system change is finally getting the attention it deserves as a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions and environmental degradation. ProVeg International and the Food4Climate Pavilion are leading the charge to put food sustainability at the forefront of global climate talks. With a focus on plant-based diets and balanced food systems, the Pavilion aims to engage delegates, policymakers, and influential leaders to prioritize food system transformation.

For the first time ever, COP28 will dedicate a whole day to discussions on food, agriculture, and water. This marks a significant shift in acknowledging the pivotal role food systems play in combating climate change. Through advocating for subsidies, incentives, and regulations to promote plant-based options and sustainable food choices, the Food4Climate Pavilion aims to push for concrete commitments and real change in global food systems.
