He highlighted that food production is a major contributor to global disease and greenhouse gas emissions, primarily due to animal agriculture. Advocating for food system transformation, Dr. Tedros joined other high-profile figures like Sir David Attenborough and Greta Thunberg in endorsing plant-based diets for their efficiency and reduced environmental impact. The summit marked the first inclusion of food system transformation in its agreements, recognizing the need for agricultural emission reductions.
