The UN has been forced to step in after a row about a lack of vegan options erupted at the Cop29 climate summit in Baku.

The food court at the Azerbaijan conference centre features just one vegan and vegetarian outlet, prompting complaints from delegates who said plant-based food should be prioritised for its green credentials.

Previous Cop summits have made a point of featuring a variety of vegan options.

The Cop26 summit in Glasgow displayed the carbon footprint of all food items and offered more environmentally-friendly meat options, such as venison.
