Launch of the Food Systems Coordination Hub

Convened by the UN Secretary-General, over 160 Member States, representatives of partners and stakeholder groups, came together at the Food Systems Summit on 23-24 September 2021 where they articulated hundreds of individual and collective solutions and commitments to transform food systems to achieve the 2030 Agenda. In his Chair’s Summary and Statement of Action, the Secretary-General committed the UN system to jointly lead a Coordination Hub that collaborates with, and draws upon, wider UN system capacities to support follow-up to the Food Systems Summit.

The Hub will be hosted by FAO on behalf of the UN system. Oversight of the Hub will fall on a Steering Group comprised of the Principals of the RBAs, DCO, and UNEP as the initial Chair of an evolved UN Task Force. The Chair of the UN Task Force will rotate among interested UN agencies with strong connections to the work of the Hub.
