COP28 UAE
The global consensus established during COP21 in 2015 was a commitment to restrain the escalation of global warming to 1.5°C in contrast to pre-industrial levels by the year 2050. To stay aligned with this objective, scientific evidence emphasizes the imperative need to halve emissions by 2030. With merely seven years remaining until that crucial deadline, COP28 UAE emerges as a pivotal juncture to reassess, reinvigorate, and redirect the climate agenda.
What is the COP28 UAE Event?
The pivotal focus of COP28 UAE centres around the delivery of environmentally sustainable, socially conscious, delectable, and nourishing food and beverage offerings. This monumental endeavour stands as a paramount priority for the Presidency, striving to showcase to the global arena how food, harmonized with climate consciousness, can seamlessly intertwine taste, wellness, and affordability.
COP28 are a part of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) where countries come together to discuss and negotiate global efforts to address climate change. COP meetings gather representatives from various nations to discuss policies, set goals, and make decisions aimed at mitigating climate change and its impacts on a global scale
Our unwavering aim resonates with accommodating diverse dietary needs, with an ardent commitment to ensuring that two-thirds of the menu options lean towards vegan or vegetarian preferences. Collaborating in synergy with Nutritics, our aspiration extends to guaranteeing that 50% of the food served adheres meticulously to sustainable limits regarding carbon and water intensity, staying well within the nutritional guidelines outlined by the UAE. To further fortify this commitment, concerted efforts are underway alongside our F&B vendors and waste management partners to prioritize waste minimization and packaging reduction through composting and recycling initiatives.

An estimated count of 250,000 meals is anticipated to be served, catering to a staggering 70,000 participants across more than 70 distinct food and beverage outlets throughout the comprehensive two-week program of COP28. However, our resolve remains unshaken as we diligently collaborate with our esteemed partners, advocating for the utilization of local and regional suppliers. In doing so, our catering services strive to honour, embody, and echo the values set forth by the UNFCCC and the UAE, concurrently celebrating the opulent heritage and warm hospitality that define this nation.
