Climate finance towards resilient & agroecological food systems

UNFCCC official side event. Osiris Room, Blue Zone. Food systems account for 33% of GHG emissions, but receive only 3% of climate finance. More funding is urgently needed to support resilient food systems solutions which achieve mitigation, food security, and nutrition targets across a diversity of contexts. Agroecology provides significant climate change adaptation and mitigation potential through participatory, locally-relevant solutions. This side event will discuss opportunities for climate financing related to food and climate to meet the NDCs.
