Food forever: climate-proofing our food for future generations

26 Nov 2022

GLF Climate: Frontiers of Change

 

Hosted on the sidelines of COP27 in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt, and online, GLF Climate 2022: Frontiers of Change united 7,000 participants from 164 countries and rallied over 27 million people on social media around what humanity can still do to avoid the worsening impacts of the climate crisis.

 

Featuring 228 leading scientists, activists, Indigenous leaders, financiers, youth and government leaders, and 96 incredible partner organizations, the second edition of GLF Climate called for a just transition to a stewardship economy that puts people and nature first.

 

Adapting agriculture to the climate crisis

 

We are facing deeply challenging times at local, national, and global levels. The risks posed by biodiversity loss, a rapidly changing climate, and global conflict show no signs of abating, and without adaptation, our global food systems will soon no longer be able to cope.

As our own food and nutrition insecurity, and that of future generations, continues to be exposed, it is ever more critical we identify actionable solutions to address these challenges. Speakers elaborate on the role of global crop diversity as a prerequisite to adapting agriculture to the climate crisis, improving livelihoods, and feeding everyone adequately.
