Nexus roundtable: agri-food chains—advancing climate actions on resilient and sustainable agriculture food chains for a 1.5°C net zero world

Taking place at COP 25, this roundtable will directly address the UNCAS Call for Action on Adaptation and Resilience and The Nature-Based Solutions for Climate Manifesto and the implementation of the number of specific initiatives on food and agriculture. The purpose is to increase the ambition for climate action in agriculture and food value chains to deliver inclusive, resilient and sustainable systems. The discussion will focus on the following 3 questions:

1. How are new and existing initiatives taking transformative action at scale to deliver resilient and sustainable agriculture food chains?

2. How are climate actions on building resilient and sustainable agriculture food value chains benefiting all in the system (from farm to fork) – especially smallholder farmers, communities and SMEs in countries (LDCs and SIDS) most impacted by climate change?

3. What are the main challenges and opportunities to implement and track climate actions on building resilient and sustainable agriculture food chains to scale?

As a cross-cutting element, this Roundtable will focus on how to engage marginalised groups including women, youth, indigenous people and people living with disabilities thereby achieve inclusion and equitable outcomes.
