COP26: What‘s on the menu for food and farming?

Time for EU food policy! In this episode, Slow Food Europe talks about climate!
Few weeks ago, world leaders met in Glasgow for the COP26! Alas, this crucial international summit on climate change ended with a disappointing agreement, just when the expectations of civil society, young people, indigenous peoples, and all those affected by the climate emergency were highest. What’s more, despite causing approximately 30% of all atmospheric carbon, there was little said about food and farming.
Now that the COP26 is behind us and that dust has settled, let’s take a step back! Was the COP26 a success? What was decided about food and farming? Where does the EU stand in all this, and what is the EU’s way forward on climate change ? We answer all these questions with our three guests:
Shane Holland, executive director of Slow Food in the UK
Chantal Clément, Deputy Director of IPES-Food (the International Panel of Experts on Sustainable Food Systems)
Tim Mc Phie, European Commission Spokesperson for Climate Action and Energy
