Workshop: Advancing climate action in agriculture in Europe and Central Asia

Baku (Azerbaijan), 25/09/2024 - 27/09/2024

The three-day regional workshop “Advancing climate action in agriculture in Europe and Central Asia” aims to underscore the critical role of agrifood systems in addressing climate change and implementing climate actions. It will explore the role of the agriculture sector in achieving the goals set by the Paris Agreement, particularly in relation to sustainable food systems, gender-responsive climate action, and climate finance, including support from the Green Climate Fund and the Global Environment Facility.

The event will help participating countries build capacity to integrate food systems and agriculture into international climate negotiations and national strategies through presentations of tools, information, and guidance. By covering these topics, the workshop seeks to foster meaningful discussions, knowledge exchange, and capacity building, contributing to effective preparation for the COP29, and enhancing climate action in the agricultural sector.
