This live event will showcase how the 10 critical transitions laid out in the FOLU Growing Better Report can be turned into more resilient food systems that can deliver the change needed to boost progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Paris Agreement. Join us to delve into how the critical transitions will help mitigate the negative effects of climate change, safeguard biodiversity, ensure more healthy diets for all, drastically improve food security and create more inclusive rural economies.

Alongside key actors in the global food and agriculture community, join us to cultivate thinking around breaking silos across health, inclusion, and environment to deliver on social protection, water resource management, and biodiversity.

We are exploring integral approaches in re-setting our food systems and streamlining our measurement and analytical frameworks to view the climate and food crisis more holistically, as part of a collective response to COVID-19.
