WATCH: After Demanding Meat Tax, Activists at UN COP29 Climate Conference Won't Go Near Vegan Buffet

Climate nerds at the 2024 United Nations Climate Change (COP29) Conference being held in Baku, Azerbaijan, spent the early part of their panel discussions talking about how they could tax meat in an effort to force people away from the apparently ozone-depleting food group.

Willem Branten, public affairs and policy officer at the True Animal Protein Price (TAPP) Coalition (yes, that is a thing), demanded the EU Commission, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), and China lead the way in implementing what amounts to a "sin tax" on meat.

Branten, who looks exactly as you might imagine, called on "the use of at least 20 percent of their revenues for ... pricing mechanisms to finance the loss and damage fund so that we can pay for the damages done by our past consumption of meat and animal proteins."

Branten added, "This is why we want to make the polluter pay."

And then it was time for lunch.
