COP 28 countries to include food production in tackling climate change

World Business Report

Available for over a year

World leaders attending the COP 28 climate change summit in Dubai have signed up to a declaration aimed at reducing emissions from food production. The declaration says there is an urgent need to adapt food and agricultural systems as food production is responsible for a third of greenhouse gas emissions. But there are concerns today's declaration doesn't go far enough. And - Elon Musk's Tesla electric vehicle company has finally delivered the first batch of its long-awaited Cybertruck to its customers. Costing just over $60,000 dollars and with a range of 340 miles, the futuristic vehicle's initial launch four years ago didn’t go to plan. One of Musk's team threw a metal ball at the reinforced glass windows with disastrous results. Four years later and the Cybertruck is back - but it is the design which is now catching the attention, with some describing it as 'a monstrosity', and 'like a child's toy'. We get the view of Italian car design expert Mattheo Licata. (Picture: World leaders in Dubai for COP 28 climate change summit, Courtesy Getty Images)
