with 15 nations. fossilfuels — like coal, oil, and gas — are the biggest contributors to carbon emissions, leading to rising global temperature. cop28 organisers have said the report is inaccurate, and the uae said "private meetings are private." well, earlier i spoke to graeme riddell, a climate and sustainability consulting leader with marsh asia. he gave me his reaction to the possible discussions of fossil fuel deals at cop28, an event that aims to prevent the worst impacts of climate change by limiting the rising global temperature. first reaction, everybody needs to be on the table at this, it's a complex issue and we can avoid heavy fossil fuel companies avoid heavy fossilfuel companies engaging in this discussion to have a systemic

economy wide response. screws and is good, discussion is good, the more people involved in taking action and engaging in taking action and engaging in climate change is better. the more private sector engagement in this issue, i think, is better than what we saw ten or 20 or 30 years ago when it was very government driven. iii when it was very government driven. ., . ~ ., driven. if we go back, at kop 27, is driven. if we go back, at kop 27. is loss — driven. if we go back, at kop 27, is loss and _ driven. if we go back, at kop 27, is loss and damage - driven. if we go back, at kop 27, is loss and damage fund| 27, is loss and damage fund was a for richer countries to pay poorer countries suffering the impact of climate change, how do you see that working out, that has been one of the numerous sticking points? i think private sector needs to get more engage in loss and damage as well. it is just one section, it would help society, insurance needs to be more engaged, issues regarding finances and construction, climate change needs to be built in all discussions and

build an infrastructure that is more resilient.— build an infrastructure that is more resilient. how confident are ou more resilient. how confident are you about _ more resilient. how confident are you about these _ more resilient. how confident| are you about these changes? all of these meetings have been leading up to something coming out quite well. lots of preparatory meetings for this cop28, hopefully with outcomes nearing all of these potential contagious point being discussed going into the uae, so fingers crossed that we don't have another year of delay, and i think the private sector with 75,000 people there, one it is a lot of people, hopefully it means private sector is engaged and we see finance flowing after this week. one of the biggest, and most visible impact of climate change is the worsening weather condition. an in increased frequency in severe storms and unprecedented heatwaves all have the ability to decimate crops and disrupt food production. that's a challenge with the global population now past 8 billion people, and continuing to grow.

a growing number of companies are looking at how new technology can make our food supplies more reliable. 0ur reporterjonathanjosephs has met with some of those trying to put new things on the menu. cooking up the future of food. some of the world's most innovative food companies hope to reach our taste buds through what's on the menu at london's future food tech summit. most of them are smaller companies, better placed to find the breakthroughs that will keep the world fed. consumers in many parts of the world are eating more meat, and as their incomes rise, un says that demand will continue to grow for the next decade or so. that brings many challenges. guy nevo makovsky is from the israeli startup profuse. so profuse is enabling the production of cultivated meat, which is basically taking one cell from an animal and growing it into a steak in a factory. so the challenge is to get it to grow from one cell into 20 billion cells.

critics say that meat consumption is bad for the environment. growing meat in a laboratory presumably uses a lot of energy, which isn't necessarily good for the climate. cultivated meat growth is cutting down the use of land and freshwater by 90% compared to farm grown meat. probably you can start getting those in the shops within 5 to 10 years. food technology isn't just about coming up with new ways to make food. it's also about making better use of what we already have. denmark's has one such company. avi, what is it you're doing here? well, we are upcycling, poor, spent grains. so when the poor has extracted the sugar and the starch from the grain, we are transforming them or processing them into flour that can be used in all types of food where you use flour. what is it that you do differently to other companies? we have an algorithm. we are taking in more than 100 different types of grains. so every time we produce one of our standard types of flour, it's a mix that is managed

by the algorithm. why does the world need to upcycle when it comes to food? more than eight billion people now, but the world is not getting bigger, so we need to find ways to utilise the resources already available to us. it's thought about a billion people around the world are obese, so some companies are trying to make what we do have healthier. blue tree is one of those. what are you doing? we developed a technology that enables to reduce sugar from natural beverages, such as fresh juices, milk, beer and wine. after three years of development, it's soon set to hit supermarket shelves for the first time. do you have any concern that people will see your technology and a product? think it's a bit healthier? i can have more, even if it's not a healthy option. we want to enable people to get to healthier products and it will be up to them to know exactly how much they will consume of it. with so many challenges, a lot of new recipes will be needed to keep the world fed. jonathan josephs, bbc news.
