Members of the media are invited to a press conference at COP27 in Sharm El Sheik today from 3.30pm to 4pm (UTC +2) in the Luxor Press Conference Room (No. 22 on COP27 venue map) on how national dietary guidelines can help promote healthy, plant-rich diets.

The Food4Climate Pavilion has been set up to highlight the critical yet overlooked need to transform our global food system to tackle climate change.
