World’s Largest Climate Crisis Conference Sparks Controversy After Serving Meat

The COP27 climate crisis conference has sparked controversy after serving unsustainable meat and dairy items on its menu in Sharm-el-Sheikh, Egypt. Critics, including climate activists and the Vegan Society, have condemned the inclusion of items like beef medallions and salmon flown in from thousands of miles away. This decision is seen as a failure to address the significant impact of meat and dairy production on the worsening climate emergency.

Similar criticisms were leveled at last year's COP26 conference for serving meat dishes and utilizing private jets for transportation. These actions go against calls for a vegan menu and environmentally friendly travel options. Climate experts emphasize the urgent need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from meat and dairy production, advocating for wider adoption of a plant-based diet to combat the climate crisis effectively.
