IFAD goes to COP26 – Putting rural small-scale farmers at the centre of global climate negotiations

From 31 October, world leaders, experts, and climate activists from across the world will gather in Glasgow, Scotland for COP26, the biggest climate conference since the Paris Accords. IFAD will be there, calling for greater investments in climate adaptation – and we will be giving the floor to rural small-scale producers to share their own experiences and solutions.

These producers are the foundation of the world’s food systems and the custodians of its resources. They produce one third of global food while working to protect their lands and livelihoods against the changing climate. In developing countries, their role is even bigger. Yet they remain greatly underserved by climate finance, receiving only 1.7 per cent of global funding flows, and they seldom have a voice at international forums.

At COP26, IFAD has created a space to listen to their stories and present solutions. With more than 30 interactive events hosted at our pavilion, IFAD will highlight the crucial role of these producers in producing our food, and advocate for increased investments to help them adapt to erratic weather and increasingly frequent natural disasters.
