A Tool to Tackle the Climate and Biodiversity Crises: Our Agrifood Systems
23/08/2023
STORY HIGHLIGHTS: From climate change to biodiversity loss, food waste to conflict, these colliding disasters must be tackled together, and sustainable agrifood systems are key with the capacity to put the brakes on or even reverse damage already done. We look to this week’s Seventh Assembly of the GEF, the largest gathering of a family of funds dedicated to confronting biodiversity loss, climate change, pollution, and strains on land and ocean health. Looking forward – to the SDG Summit, to UNFCCC COP 28, and to 2030 – we have to continue investing in and scaling up these approaches.
