Plant Based Treaty - Cities Campaign

The Plant Based Treaty’s mission is to promote a shift towards a just, plant-based food system that would enable us to live safely within our planetary boundaries and reforest the Earth. Come along to our exciting workshop where PBT campaigner Lia will explore our 5 programs: collecting endorsements, city campaign, menu change, advocacy at climate talks, and training and capacity building. She will dive deep into our city program which focuses on securing support from politicians and give real world examples of cities where the Plant Based Treaty has made a difference. She will also talk about how you can get involved with the Plant Based Treaty in your community!
