WHO Head Tedros Declares War On Meat And Demands Nations Transition To Plant-Based Diets At COP28. Aims To Accomplish By 2025 “By 2025 we intend to strengthen our respective and shared efforts. We affirm that agriculture and food systems must urgently adapt and transform in order to respond to the imperatives of climate change,” the declaration at COP28 reads, World Health Organization Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus issued a short statement during the COP 28 climate summit in Dubai last month, blaming meat and livestock practices for contributing a major amount of emissions. Tedros’ message mostly went unheard at the time but gained some traction online weeks after COP28 concluded. In the video the WHO head stated: “Our food systems are harming the health of people and planet. Food systems contribute to over 30 percent of greenhouse gas emissions, and account for almost one-third of the global burden of disease. Transforming food systems is therefore essential by shifting for this healthier, diversified and more plant-based diets. If food systems deliver healthy diets for all we could save 8 million lives per year. WHO is committed to supporting countries to develop and implement policies to improve diets and fight climate change. I’m therefore very pleased that over 130 countries have signed the code 28 UAE Declaration on climate and health. Together, we can protect and promote the health of both people and planet. Thank you.“ Source Our channel: Node of Time EN Источник: Node of Time EN
