MSF - OCB's Global Environmental Footprint Initiative
Building MSF OCB environmental roadmap
Rarely mentioned as it requires a change of personal behavior but clear evidence that being plant based is an important way to support the envioronment. Are all the carers of the climate ready to change diets?

Good reflection! Maybe not in all the missions as it can be very complex depending on the context, but what about starting at HQ and in specific coordination offices (eg. the ones located in Europe, where at least we could reduce meat consumption)?
Conversation with Aurelien
Without necessarily pushing everybody to become vegetarian, we can certainly make our food and eating habits friendlier to the planet.
Perhaps the best thing to do here is to educate and raise awareness on the worst foods in this respect ? If this effort isn't done, people might feel forced to eat a vegetarian meal at lunch and compensate with a big steak for dinner, missing the point entirely...
It is often hard to get a fully plant based option in MSF projects, coordination, HQ but agree volition and education important - as well as MSF supporting the option to be plant based - which would already be a major step.

It is important to define a bit better the scope of this solution. When worded "MSF supported meals", it includes meals given to in-patients in MSF structures. If so, this solution becomes more complex, as it goes along with medical considerations.
The comment refers to staff meals not patient care.
Excellent suggestion :) Can be implemented in Field for staff, for patients (with correct nutritional analysis) and certainly headquarters
