Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Minister of State, Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, whether he has made an assessment of the impact of the participation of (a) JBS Foods and (b) other large meat processing corporations in COP28 on the global climate change debate.

We have not made an assessment of the impact JBS Foods and other larger meat processing corporations' participation at the COP28 conference have had on the global climate change debate. The UK worked closely with the United Arab Emirates (UAE) Presidency to ensure COP28 included an unprecedented focus on the need for a transition to sustainable agriculture, which resulted in increased participation by agribusinesses and other stakeholders.
