Maybe it was the offer of warm sun in December, but this year’s COP drew 100K attendees, almost double the size of COP15 in Paris. Climate tech played its biggest role ever at COP this year. The oil & gas COP. This was the COP of the climate and O&G juxtaposition. The greenwashing was unavoidable.

Meat emits around a third of global emissions of methane, and action to cut this greenhouse gas has been identified by the UN and world leaders as the quickest route to slowing global heating. Farming also relies on synthetic fertilisers that are both fossil-fuel-based and emit greenhouse gases, and drives deforestation.

Farming will be front and centre at this year’s COP. Animal agriculture is the largest emitter of methane, a greenhouse gas 80 times more potent than carbon dioxide when measured over a 20 year period. Scientists say that unless swift action is taken, methane from agriculture alone will take us beyond a 1.5C
