There are days when the sky does not bring rain. Instead, a thick fog, called camanchaca, advances silently from the ocean and covers hills and ravines. The trees, plants and its animals welcome this humidity. But crops and communities miss the needed rain. Now, in Chile’s Peña Blanca agricultural community, this fog is being captured drop by drop and transformed into the missing water.

As climate negotiators convene in Bonn for the annual June climate meetings, FAO is supporting the talks with a new technical note outlining progress and priorities on agriculture and food security under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).

Agriculture and food systems are highly vulnerable to climate impacts, but they are also major contributors to greenhouse gas emissions. With over 8% of the world’s population, around 673 million people, not getting enough to eat, experts gathered for the Expert Meeting on Agriculture and Food to consider how to feed the growing world population while responding to climate change. The meeting is being co-sponsored by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).

Countries are moving from formulating climate adaptation plans to implementing concrete actions, but to fully succeed, a massive scaling up of targeted adaptation finance is needed. This was the message that came through loud and clear at NAP Expo 2026, held in Kigali, Rwanda, from 18-21 May, where countries’ perspectives shaped wide-ranging agenda.  

Participants at the Workshop on Climate Change and Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture, convened at FAO headquarters, 25–26 May 2026, underscored the critical role that genetic resources play in strengthening the resilience of agrifood systems in the face of climate change.
