Food system climate solutions: Managing climate risks and externalities from the food system
Location: Tutankhamun Room, Blue Zone
Host: Citizens’ Climate, Rockefeller Foundation, True Animal Protein Price Coalition, Good Food Finance Network (co-hosted by WBCSD), Global Alliance for the Future of Food
Date: 11 November 2022
Time: 15:00–16:30 (EET)
Description: This official UNFCCC-listed side event will focus on food system climate solutions. Global food systems make up a third of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and are a major driver of nature loss.
This session will highlight solutions the public and private sectors can use to address these risks, including true cost accounting, non-market approaches, and Good Food Finance Network (GFFN) interventions. It will also connect ideas, innovations and enabling policies to “non-market” cooperative implementation as outlined in Article 6.8 of the Paris Agreement. Negotiations around non-market approaches (NMAs) focus on opportunities to enhance overall coherence, ambition and investability of climate action. Food-related NMAs include many areas closely linked to the substantive work of the GFFN and the funding arrangements that will be activated through the Co-Investment Platform.
