UN's COP28 Summit to Focus on Reducing Global Meat Consumption

The non-binding recommendations aim to influence policy and finance decisions, despite strong opposition from some quarters.

The United Nations' Food & Agriculture Organization (FAO) will focus on reducing meat consumption worldwide at the upcoming COP28 climate summit in Dubai.
The FAO's roadmap will advise nations that over-consume meat to limit their intake and developing countries to improve their livestock farming.
Food systems account for about a third of global greenhouse gas emissions, with a significant portion linked to livestock farming.
The recommendations, while not binding, aim to influence policy, finance, and various climate topics and decisions.
Social media users and some political figures have strongly rejected the UN's plan, arguing against government intervention in consumer behavior.
