22 – 29 September 2024 | New York and via Livestream

The Global Alliance and our partners will be hosting, co-convening, or participating in several events—from scaling up investments in transitions to agroecological and regenerative agriculture to strategizing on pathways to reduce fossil fuels in food systems and lifting up the links between petrochemicals (especially agrochemicals), climate, and health.

Food systems account for over one-third of greenhouse gas emissions and 15% of fossil fuel use annually goes into food systems. Addressing the climate crisis will require transforming our food systems.

Below, are a selection of events and dialogues.
