FAO at the UN Climate Change Conference COP28
FAO to launch reports on livestock emissions, loss and damage, financing and a SDG2 Global Roadmap
Dubai UAE, 30 Nov – 12 Dec 2023
The UN Climate Change Conference COP28 is anticipated to be a pivotal event in the global endeavor to address the climate crisis and secure food resources for both current and future generations. This year in Dubai, leaders will assess the progress on the Paris Agreement as part of the first Global Stocktake.
For the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), COP28 serves as a vital platform for collaborative dialogue, knowledge exchange, and decision-making regarding the distinctive role of agrifood systems in the battle against the impacts of climate change. Solutions within agrifood systems contribute directly to climate action, fostering resilience and adaptation, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, safeguarding biodiversity, and ensuring global food security.
As a co-host of the Food and Agriculture Pavilion, the organization will lead events and provide technical advice to member countries. FAO already supports countries to deliver solutions. However, a transformation of agrifood systems to tackle the climate crisis can only be realized by scaling up investment in action at local, national, and global levels.
FAO’s delegation, led by Director-General QU Dongyu, will be at the World Climate Action Summit where a high level leaders event on agriculture and food systems will take place.
A series of FAO experts will be present during the entirety of COP28, including on 10 Dec, the COP28 thematic day dedicated to food, agriculture and water.
The full list of FAO-hosted events at COP28 can be found here.
At COP28, FAO will also launch the following reports:
• Pathways towards lower emissions – A global assessment of the greenhouse gas emissions and mitigation options from livestock agrifood systems
• Loss and Damage and Agrifood Systems ? Taking Climate Action Forward
• Climate-related development finance to agrifood systems – Global and regional trends between 2000 and 2021
• Global Roadmap: Achieving SDG2 without breaching the 1.5C threshold
