A Practical Guide to Assessing Food Systems in Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) is designed to enable policymakers, organizations, and other interested stakeholders to take a comprehensive food systems approach to the development and implementation of future NDCs or national climate policies. The guide is available in Deutsche, Español, Français and 中文.

The guide features a bespoke Assessment Framework that is based on the Global Alliance’s Seven Principles and Seven Calls to Action for Food Systems Transformation. This evaluation criterion can be used to assess the extent to which a food systems perspective is adopted in developing and implementing NDCs. It is designed as a living document to be continuously refined to reflect the most recent research on food systems thinking, as well as the technical input from a wide range of food systems actors.

The Assessment Framework is available in 中文, Deutsche, English, Español, and Français as a Google Doc, and users are encouraged to make a copy of the framework for their own uses.
