Food systems account for ⅓ of global greenhouse gas emissions. Despite this, only 3% of climate finance goes to food systems, and 70% of climate plans do not include adequate detail on food in their climate plans❗ Despite food systems offering both mitigation and adaptation potential, our research shows that they are underestimated and underfunded as a climate solution. By bridging the funding gap, we unlock opportunities to combat climate change, reverse biodiversity loss, and enhance human health. Let's recognize the immense untapped potential within our food systems. Explore the insights: https://bit.ly/3yGsm9F #FoodSystemsTransformation #ClimateActionNow #ClimateFinance

Food systems play a crucial role in biodiversity – transforming them is key to achieving the ambitious targets set by the Global Biodiversity Framework. 🌱 Our latest research reveals how agroecology can drive national biodiversity action, with small-scale farmers and Indigenous communities leading the charge in biodiversity conservation. Their traditional practices hold the answers to the urgent biodiversity crisis we face. 🌿 💡 Explore the findings and discover how we can integrate agroecology into National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans (NBSAPs): bit.ly/NBSAPS #Agroecology #Biodiversity #BiodiversityCrisis #FoodSystems #IndigenousKnowledge #SustainableFarming #NBSAP

📢 A transition to #agroecology and regenerative food systems would help us meet our climate, biodiversity and food security targets. Transitioning to agroecology requires USD 430 billion annually. But right now it only gets USD 44 billion. In contrast, nearly USD 630 billion goes annually towards agriculture subsidies, half of which are harmful. This doesn't add up. We need to transform our #FoodSystems. Learn more: https://bit.ly/3X5eUsY

💰 It’s time for a climate finance reset at #COP29Azerbaijan! 🌍 Food systems are vital for a sustainable future but remain critically underfunded. While public climate finance has increased overall, the portion allocated to food systems has dropped to just 2.5%, and sustainable food systems receive just 1.5% of public climate finance❗ This new report, developed together with the Global Alliance for the Future of Food, reveals the urgent need to scale up climate finance by 10x to $500B annually to transform food systems and build resilience for those on the frontlines of the crisis—smallholder farmers, fishers, and Indigenous Peoples. 🌱 Key actions for resilient food systems include: ✅ Phase out fossil-fuel-based agrochemicals ✅ Shift to renewable energy in food processing ✅ Redirect harmful subsidies toward sustainable practices like agroecology ✅ Support local and Indigenous food systems The New Collective Quantified Goal (#NCQG) is a pivotal opportunity to channel resources where they’re needed most—food systems adaptation and mitigation. 📖 Discover actionable strategies to drive impactful change: https://lnkd.in/dMnKcddZ #ClimateFinance #ClimateAction #FoodSystemsTransformation COP29 Azerbaijan haseeb bakhtary Sara Minoli Lauren Baker Matheus Alves Zanella

“If we are able to show at the board and the company level, basically, the financial materiality of doing all of this, then we're good to go”. On November 26, we held our second Dialogue on True Cost Accounting and the Private Sector, part of our Scaling Implementation Dialogue Series. Our workshop participants spoke candidly on challenges to scaling TCA in the private sector, and identified tangible steps to catalyze change. 💡 Read the blog to explore the discussion further!
