In a significant move towards environmental sustainability and climate action, Amsterdam has joined a growing list of cities worldwide in endorsing the Plant Based Treaty (PBT). This move makes Amsterdam the first European Union capital to support the initiative, marking an important step in the global effort to shift towards more sustainable, plant-based food systems.
Joining a league of 25 cities worldwide that have signed the PBT, Amsterdam’s endorsement of the treaty is part of its broader Food Strategy, aimed at revolutionizing the city’s dietary habits.
“The way we produce, distribute, process, and consume food has a significant impact on the health of people and animals and contributes to the climate crisis,” the City of Amsterdam Council said in a statement.
