CGIAR @ The UN Food Systems Summit +2 Stocktaking Moment

Contributing game-changing science and innovation to transform food, land and water systems in a climate crisis

  • Date
    24.07.23 > 26.07.23
  • Time
    12:00 am > 12:00 am UTC+01:00
  • Location

In 2021, the United Nations convened the Food Systems Summit as part of the Decade of Action to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030. The Summit launched new actions to deliver progress on all 17 SDGs, each of which relies in part on healthier, more sustainable and equitable food systems.

Two years on and a Stocktaking Moment will review progress in implementing the outcomes of this process and its contributions to the achievement of the 2030 Agenda.

CGIAR played an important role in the ’21 Summit and has continued to support many of the Food Systems Coalitions that were launched.

We are also supporting Ministries to draft their national pathways. For example, in Viet Nam where we are providing technical support to draft the Food Systems Transformation National Action Plan. We are also working with several other countries on their Long-Term Low Emissions and Climate Resilient Development Pathways and providing additional support where needed including to the UNFSS Coordination Hub where scientific capacity and knowledge can be applied to give a solid evidential base to pathway design.
