Frontline Food Leaders Available for Speaking Opportunities at COP29
In so many parts of the world, food is on the frontline of the climate crisis. It only takes one climate disaster—a drought, flood, or heatwave—for entire villages to spiral into debt, poverty, and hunger—unravelling regional food systems and economies.
At COP29, the UN Climate Conference in Azerbaijan this November, the need for dedicated climate finance will take center stage. Our forthcoming report, launching in November 2024, reveals that while public climate finance has risen in recent years, funding for sustainable food systems remains critically insufficient.
A transformation of food systems requires an ambitious scaling up of funding. To highlight the crucial intersection of food systems and the climate crisis, we are privileged to support thirteen frontline food leaders from around the world to highlight these perspectives at COP29.
Each brings powerful testimonies and a strong record of championing food sovereignty and climate justice. They represent communities faced with the hard realities of adapting to a changing climate while also forging ahead with solutions based on agroecological approaches.
