UN climate attendees gorge on meat while calling to limit meat consumption

Attendees at the UN’s COP28 climate summit in Dubai this week are being treated to a wide array of meat cuisine options even as many attendees — including the UN itself — urge governments to limit meat consumption for taxpayers.

COP28 is offering its 70,000 participants a selection of nearly 100 restaurants and food carts, at least a third of which specialize in beef and dairy dishes. Attendees can choose “juicy beef” and “slabs of succulent meat,” barbecued chicken and steak, hamburgers, Philly cheesesteaks, shawarma, carne asada, Tex Mex chicken, birria, kebabs, “melt-in-your-mouth BBQ,” smoked meats, and more.

“Our focus at COP28 UAE is on delivering environmentally sustainable, socially responsible, delicious, and nutritious food and beverage,” said the summit’s website. “This is a key priority for the Presidency, and we are striving to show the world how climate-friendly food can be tasty, healthy and affordable.”

“Working with Nutritics, we aim to ensure that 50% of the food served within sustainable limits for carbon and water intensity and is within UAE nutritional guidelines,” the site added.

The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) is expected to publish dietary guidelines at the summit which will demand the United States and other developed nations limit their meat consumption to “fight climate change.”

Although past climate conferences have focused on curbing carbon emissions in manufacturing, transportation, and power sectors, this will be the first year that extra pressure will be brought to bear on the agriculture industry.

Developing countries which already consume less meat will also be issued guidelines to follow, reported Bloomberg, which will involve reforming their farming practices to make them more “sustainable.”

While the expected document is considered to be the first of its kind from the UN, the globalist organization has long been urging Western countries to eliminate meat from their diets due to the methane emissions from livestock.

A global “climate-friendly” diet, which includes little to no meat, has long been a globalist goal and is beginning to be implemented by the C40.

The C40 is a George Soros-funded conglomerate of nearly 100 global mayors who have pledged to transform their cities to meet the World Health Organization’s Air Quality Guidelines. To meet those guidelines, C40 has adopted a slew of measures including a meal plan for taxpayers called the Planetary Health Diet. The diet is limited to 2,500 calories a day and is mostly plant based, with 50% fruits and vegetables and 50% other foods such as whole grains, plant-based protein, legumes, nuts, and small amounts of animal-sourced protein. 

New York City Mayor Eric Adams earlier this year signed onto a C40 plan for a 33% reduction in carbon emissions by reducing meat and dairy in taxpayers’ diets. The city has already made plant-based meals the default option for patients in the Health + Hospitals network, and Adams’ office says it is on track to distribute 850,000 plant-based meals to patients in 2023.

New York City also became subject to new food standards last year which placed a cap on the amount of meat that can be served by municipal agencies and a minimum quota for plant-based foods. The rules also state that processed meats must be phased out by 2025.

Other globalist figures are also doing their part to limit meat consumption for taxpayers in wealthier nations. Billionaire Bill Gates is funding several fake meat companies in the hope of replacing meat completely in developed countries. If the public cannot be convinced to switch to fake meat then they should be forced to do so by government regulation, he said.

“I don’t think the poorest 80 countries will be eating synthetic meat,” Gates told the MIT Technology Review in 2021. “I do think all rich countries should move to 100% synthetic beef. You can get used to the taste difference, and the claim is they’re going to make it taste even better over time. Eventually, that green premium is modest enough that you can sort of change the [behavior of] people or use regulation to totally shift the demand.”
