FAO Regional Office for Latin America and the Caribbean at COP30

Background

Sustainable and resilient agrifood systems are fundamental to climate action, essential for strengthening resilience, and key to ensuring food security and nutrition for 1.2 billion people whose livelihoods depend on them.

The 2025 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP30), hosted this year by Brazil, represents a crucial moment in global efforts to simultaneously address climate change and ensure food security and nutrition for present and future generations.

The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) is working with countries and partners to place agriculture and food security at the center of the negotiations.

For the fourth consecutive year, FAO is co-organizing the Food and Agriculture Pavilion with the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR), promoting dialogue among multiple stakeholders both within and alongside the negotiations.

FAO's Regional Office for Latin America and Caribbean will participate in the agenda that seeks to integrate food security and climate action, in a series of events.
