Hard work pays off! Together with @IYCM and @FoodatCOP, we've worked very hard with the #COP28 Presidency to ensure that the food is predominantly #PlantBased. The decision by the presidency sends out a clear call for a global shift to climate-friendly diets. 🌍

Great work from @lanaweid and her teams on advancing plant-based options at the COP. It’s important to show world leaders that change is possible, nutritious, and tasty (not just bland salads).
