U.S. Dairy Export Council

USDEC President and CEO Krysta Harden and Dairy Management Inc. Chair Marilyn Hershey co-led the U.S. dairy delegation to this year’s UN Climate Conference (COP29) in Baku, Azerbaijan. 

This year’s conference, which ran from Nov. 11-22, welcomed representatives from 197 countries and the EU. It marked the fourth straight year that USDEC has been deeply involved in the global gathering and the second year that the meeting featured a dedicated agriculture thematic day.

The U.S. dairy delegation participated in more than a dozen panels and events convened with international institutions, non-governmental organizations and country representatives. USDEC hosted or co-hosted five sessions.
