The ongoing United Nations COP28 climate summit in Dubai is offering a wide variety of gourmet food options from vendors who serve beef, even as it prepares a report that is expected to call for the West to reduce consumption of beef.
According to the summit's online portal, its food offerings include "juicy beef," "slabs of succulent meat," smoked wagyu burgers, Philly cheesesteaks and "melt-in-your-mouth BBQ" in addition to African street BBQ, fast casual Mexican fare and an Asian option that has a "touch of French flair." The revelation comes as the U.N. faces criticism for preparing a first-of-its-kind report that is expected to be published at the summit and call for lower meat consumption.
The U.N.'s Food & Agriculture Organization (FAO) will publish its first-ever global food systems’ road map during an upcoming COP28 session, which is expected to recommend nations that "over-consume meat" to limit their consumption as part of a broader effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The U.N. has, for years, called for individuals to ditch animal-based diets, which it says "have a high impact on our planet."
"FAO emphasizes the critical need for an innovative plan and a concrete package of solutions to overhaul agrifood systems," the organization said in a statement to Fox News Digital. "The Global Roadmap is positioned as a strategic tool to demonstrate that accelerated climate actions can transform agrifood systems, simultaneously addressing food security and nutrition challenges today and in the future without breaching the 1.5 degrees threshold. In this roadmap, FAO is urging for good food for today and tomorrow."
"The core goal is to achieve [Sustainable Development Goal 2]; Zero Hunger, while being climate-friendly, to attract climate financing for mitigation, adaptation, and resilience, along with the actions required to support the achievement of 1.5 degrees (by 2050)...

Let’s return the favor.
COP is a gathering of eat, drink and travel hypocrites and every conference is paid for by taxpayers. The good news... The gourmet beef they eat is likely ‘sustainable’ from cows that have been taught how ‘not’ to fart.
Expected.
They have seen the future and we’re not in it.
Communism is meant for the peasants, not the Communists,
The plan is for them to live in luxury while the serfs live in squalor.
As they left their private jets and boarded their limousines on the way to the conference they were given the menus. After the conference they boarded John F’n Kerry’s private yacht for a party.
I’ll bet that not a single bug burger was available.
I bet the barbecue wasn’t barbecue. Especially no pork.
Have they ever had a “climate summit” in THIS country?
They would be would be under closer scrutiny if they did.
Reminds me of sixty years ago when the fear of cancer in meat was all the rage. Scientists grilled some steaks, did tests on the steaks and found huge amounts of carcinogens. After they proved that the steaks could give you cancer.....THEY ATE THE STEAKS!
Wonder what the meals at the UN climate summit meetings look like?.
No key to dining area no enter.
These UN and UN type conferences are usually known for the top tier prostitutes that fly in. And the thousands of lobsters eaten. The 3rd world delegates love their fresh lobster! That is unavailable at home.
Also known for all the private jets that land, carrying Gov’t officials and billionaires. Especially these anti- global warming confabs, packed with irrational CO2 haters.
