Global Forum on Food Security and Nutrition (FSN Forum)

Over the next decades, climate change is going to add to the challenge of securing food and nutrition of a growing population.

To raise awareness on this important issue and to contribute to the understanding of the impacts on food systems, the FSN Forum joined forces with the Mitigation of Climate Change in Agriculture (MICCA) Programme organizing:

• an online discussion facilitated by Florence Egal in the FSN Forum;
• a live webinar to explore and discuss the climate change, food security and nutrition nexus with a panel of experts.
