Bon pour the Climate (”Good For the Climate”) is a French nonprofit organization founded in 2014 to accelerate the transition toward more climate-friendly food systems. Recognizing that food accounts for a significant share of global greenhouse gas emissions, the organization supports chefs, restaurants, hospitality professionals, and consumers in adopting more sustainable practices based on four key principles: more plant-based ingredients, local sourcing, seasonal produce, and low-carbon meals.
The organization brings together chefs, producers, restaurateurs, and citizens around practical solutions. It has developed a carbon footprint calculator for recipes, organizes competitions and awareness campaigns, creates educational resources, and highlights restaurants committed to low-carbon gastronomy. Its mission is to demonstrate that culinary excellence, environmental responsibility, and the pleasure of eating can go hand in hand.
Beyond its practical tools, Bon pour le Climat promotes a positive vision of food transition. The organization believes that chefs have a unique role to play in changing eating habits, inspiring consumers, and supporting more sustainable agricultural systems. By encouraging collaboration and sharing best practices, it helps position gastronomy as a powerful driver of climate action.
