Objective / Goal	The FAST Partnership is the operationalization of the FAST Initiative. Its goals are to improve the quantity and quality of climate finance contributions towards the transformation of agriculture and food systems, to support adaptation efforts, and to maintain a 1.5-degree pathway while ensuring food and economic security. The Partnership will focus on the three pillars set out in the initiative as a result of a consultative process involving multiple stakeholders. The three pillars of FAST are: Access to finance: enhance country capacities to identify and access climate finance and investment. Knowledge and capacity: develop analyses and voluntary guidelines, support capacity development across stakeholders. Policy support and dialogue: ensure agrifood systems are fully embedded and prioritized in climate change policies. Click here for more information.
