9 de dezembro de 2023, Emirados Árabes Unidos - Uma coalizão de grupos que pedem que um Tratado Plant Based seja negociado na COP28 realizou um protesto na entrada principal da zona azul esta manhã.

COBASE, which focuses on how to design natural cities, and the Gherush92 Committee for Human Rights, joined the Plant Based Treaty protest. People stopped by to watch and film the protest.

Plant Based Treaty science ambassadors Steven George and Joy van Breda did outreach to promote our new Safe and Just report, and people were asking for our colourful fliers.

Placards reading “Sign the Plant Based Treaty” were in several different languages, including Arabic, Spanish, Turkish, Japanese and Georgian.

“The emissions from the food system alone will put the 1.5 and 2C climate target out of reach – we need a safe and just transition of our food system to keep us safe within our planetary boundaries, which is also socially just that gives everyone a voice and brings everyone to the table,” said Steven George, science ambassador for the Plant Based Treaty.

Enric Noguera from Plant Based Treaty Netherlands said, “We organized this protest to advocate for a just system that looks at solutions in a holistic way, including animals, nature, and people. We advocated for nations to negotiate a Plant Based Treaty that helps guide the much-needed, and urgent, transition of our food systems from destructive animal agriculture toward a truly fair, healthy, and sustainable food system.”
