Jane Goodall And Other Guests Served Vegan Lunch At New York Times Climate Event

The New York Times hosted the Climate Forward event, where speakers such as Dr Jane Goodall discussed the rapidly warming world. The event featured a vegan-by-default lunch, with less than 10 percent of guests choosing to opt for meat-based options. This aligns with the concept of 'choice architecture,' where making plant-based options the default encourages more sustainable food choices.

Guests like Bruce Friedrich of the Good Food Institute praised the event for its alignment with climate values and the deliciousness of the plant-based lunch. While some controversial figures attended, such as a Trump-linked architect dismissing the climate crisis as "weather," overall, the event was hailed as a success. The New York Times' Climate Forward event aimed to provide a platform for understanding and addressing the challenges of a rapidly warming world, attracting high-profile speakers and promoting sustainability in food choices.
