According to Marc Daalder reports at newsroom., a New Zealand based news website:
“New Zealand diplomats helped remove references to the need for “plant-based” diets from the latest IPCC report’s influential summary”.
“Coverage of the negotiations by the Earth Negotiations Bulletin – the only media outlet permitted to attend the event – makes clear that New Zealand argued against the use of the term “plant-based” in favour of “sustainable healthy diets” in at least two sections of the report’s summary.”
Daalder refers to this section of the approved SPM:
“Summary for Policymakers IPCC AR6 WG III C.9.1
“Demand-side and material substitution measures, such as shifting to balanced, sustainable healthy diets [See Footnote 62], reducing food loss and waste, and using bio-materials, can contribute 2.1 GtCO2-eq yr-1 reduction.”
