ProVeg International

The roundtable discussion will be followed by a drinks reception at the same venue (WCCB Bonn, Room Berlin).

World Conference Center Bonn

Food systems account for ⅓ of total GHG emissions. Achieving the Paris Agreement’s 1.5 degree target is impossible without fundamental changes in the way we produce and consume our food. Alternative proteins (plant-based, fermentation-made, and cultivated foods) have a widely acknowledged potential to accelerate food systems transformation and achieve international climate targets. This side event will explore concrete opportunities for government action to leverage this potential and integrate alternative proteins as a climate solution in UN-level climate frameworks, such as the Sharm El Sheikh Joint Work on Implementation of Action on Agriculture and Food Security. It will also highlight existing initiatives led by civil society, public-private partnerships, and start-up enterprises across the world. The roundtable discussion will be followed by a drinks reception at the same venue, for delegates only (WCCB Bonn, Room Berlin).If you don't have a badge to access the UN Climate Conference, you can follow the discussion online here: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQQEUtzvt7g&list=PLBcZ22cUY9RL6ptbdJJzqbaZn62ZPOha_&index=25" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQQEUtzvt7g&list=PLBcZ22cUY9RL6ptbdJJzqbaZn62ZPOha_&index=25</a><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQQEUtzvt7g&list=PLBcZ22cUY9RL6ptbdJJzqbaZn62ZPOha_&index=25" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"></a>Co-hosts: ProVeg International, Compassion in World Farming, Good Food Institute, Coller Foundation
