COP28: Businesses and governments rally behind food systems sustainability
134 countries have signed the Emirates Declaration on Sustainable Agriculture, Resilient Food Systems, and Climate Action, and will incorporate food into their climate plans.
More than 150 non-state actors including Unilever, Nestlé and Danone call for the transformation of global food systems, and 134 countries commit to integrate food into climate plans by 2025 on Day 2 of COP28.
This year’s climate change conference in Dubai is keen to deliver on its promised outcomes: after operationalising the loss and damage fund yesterday (the first time an agreement is achieved on Day 1), global stakeholders have signed a landmark declaration to make food systems more sustainable and resilient to climate change.
