“The climate crisis, global food insecurity and unsustainable agrifood systems are closely linked. At the same time, agrifood systems hold the solutions to multiple challenges: climate change, biodiversity, land degradation and water scarcity. Last year at COP28, 160 countries signed the Emirates Declaration, recognizing the central importance of agrifood systems for addressing the climate crisis. We need greater coordination to carry out more impactful climate action and drive more rapid transformation of agrifood systems. We are happy to see this ambition reflected in the first objective of the Harmoniya Initiative.
Over the past two decades, funding to agrifood systems has declined from 37 percent to 23 percent of all climate-related development finance,” Viorel Gutu stressed.
