The menu served up at this year’s U.N. climate summit in Glasgow was criticized by some activists who pointed to at least one item that had a significantly larger carbon footprint than the average meal in the U.K.
The Hill reported that COP26 released the menu online for all to see, and showcased the carbon impact. The website pointed to one item, the haggis dish, that was twice the carbon footprint of the average meal in Great Britain. There was a separate menu for burgers and half and about the same footprint as the haggis dish, the report said.
The menu pointed out that 95% of the food that was served was locally sourced and seasonal.
"Many of our suppliers are based within 100 miles of Glasgow, which supports our aspirations of delivering a lower carbon menu," the menu read. About 40% of the options were plant-based and "plant-forward alternatives."
