Food and drink, the fuel that keeps negotiators negotiating and reporters reporting, always gets a lot of attention at climate summits.<\/p>\n

At this year\u2019s meeting, the Australian delegation is a favorite for its complimentary coffee. Another popular spot is the Azerbaijani pavilion, where the hosts are serving strong tea from gleaming silver samovars.<\/p>\n

And then there are the Singaporeans. They\u2019re giving out free beer made from recycled toilet water.<\/p>\n

Delegates and observers at the talks, held in a retrofitted soccer stadium on the edge of Baku, the Azerbaijani capital, don\u2019t seem to mind. In fact, the beer\u2019s recycling credentials might add to its appeal among the environmentally minded at this summit, known as COP29.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt first their eyes widen,\u201d said Samantha Thian, one of the leaders of Singapore\u2019s youth delegation in Baku. \u201cThen we reassure them. They\u2019re usually coming back the next day for another.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

A hoppy pilsner called NEWBrew that comes in pastel cans decorated with solar panels, rain clouds and cityscapes, the beer is part of a collaboration between a Singaporean company called Brewerkz and the country\u2019s national water agency. The project is designed to draw attention to, and normalize, Singapore\u2019s water reclamation efforts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
