Transforming Food Systems for Health and Climate

Our food systems are harming the health of people and planet.

Food systems contribute to over thirty percent of greenhouse gas

emissions

and account for almost one third of the global burden of

disease.

Transforming food systems is therefore essential

by shifting towards healthier. WHO is committed to

supporting countries to develop and implement policies to

improve diets and fight climate change.

I'm therefore very pleased that over one hundred thirty countries

have

signed the COP twenty-eight UAE Declaration on

Climate and Health.

Together, we can protect and promote the health

of both people and planet. I thank you.
