Climate Change

COP31 Key messages

From commitment to implementation: Working with agriculture and food systems to build a climate-resilient and food-secure future.

Key messages:

  1. Agriculture and food systems must be at the heart of efforts to implement the Climate Convention, as a central pillar for action across all its objectives.

  2. Climate action through agriculture and food systems can deliver solutions for mitigation, adaptation, resilience and food security.

  3. Climate finance can trigger a transformation of agriculture and food systems if it is scaled up and reaches farmers and rural communities that are on the frontlines of climate impacts.

  4. A just transition places agriculture and food systems, and the people who rely on them, at the heart of climate action.

  5. Investing in food security is one of the most effective ways to strengthen climate adaptation, build resilience, and safeguard livelihoods.

  6. Transparency and monitoring systems build trust, help track progress and unlock climate finance.
