FAO at COP29

The 2024 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP29) hosted by Azerbaijan in Baku will take place between 11-22 November. The Conference is a landmark event in the global effort to combat climate change and ensure food security for present and future generations.

For FAO, COP29 serves as a platform for collaborative dialogue, knowledge sharing, and decision-making on the unique role of agriculture and food systems in the fight against climate change. Agrifood system solutions are climate solutions. At the heart of climate action, they help to build resilience, adapt to climate change and reduce GHG emissions while safeguarding biodiversity and ensuring food security for all.

Amid a worsening climate crisis and slow progress in cutting greenhouse gases, sustainable agrifood systems practices can help countries and communities to adapt, build resilience and mitigate emissions, ensuring food security and nutrition for a growing global population.

FAO is working with countries and partners from government to community level to simultaneously address the challenges of food security, climate change and biodiversity loss.
