This fireside chat explores the challenges and opportunities associated with climate finance in the agrifood sector. These include strategies for enhancing the accessibility, predictability, and effectiveness of climate finance dedicated to agrifood systems and the relevance of the ongoing negotiations of the New Collective Quantified Goal (NCQG) for climate finance. The event also addresses the need for clear definitions, why it is important to underline the quality of finance and the necessity for clear, outcome-based goals within the NCQG to ensure that the agrifood sector receives the attention and resources it critically needs.
