From Watts Up With That?<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Essay by<\/strong> Eric Worrall<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

First published JoNova<\/a> \u2013 \u201c\u2026 I have been low-key surviving off lunch and dinner date invites from my male global north friends who can afford it here. \u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

A section of Kenyan delegates, who did not want to be named for fear of reprisal, say they\u2019re not spared by hunger pangs.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI know three people at COP who are sleeping hungry. They told me they are surviving on free biscuits from events happening around,\u201d Doreen, a Kenyan journalist covering COP29, said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A section of young delegates attending the world\u2019s biggest climate meet in Baku, Azerbaijan, say they are trying to focus on the conference but are struggling to do so amid pangs of biting hunger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A section of Kenyan delegates, who did not want to be named for fear of reprisal, say they\u2019re also not spared by hunger pangs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A female delegate from Brazil has also lamented how expensive Baku can be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEver since I landed on Saturday and discovered things in Baku are extremely expensive, I have been low-key surviving off lunch and dinner date invites from my male global north friends who can afford it here. To be honest, it feels like they are \u2018living\u2019 around here while we merely \u2018exist\u2019\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If this story is true, I\u2019m horrified. At the very least this is a wakeup call to COP organisers to ensure attendees get to eat regularly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
