Food Systems Summit organizes public forums

01/12/2020

In 2021, UN Secretary-General António Guterres will convene a Food Systems Summit as part of the Decade of Action to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030. The Summit will launch bold new actions to deliver progress on all 17 SDGs, each of which relies to some degree on healthier, more sustainable and equitable food systems.

The Summit will awaken the world to the fact that we all must work together to transform the way the world produces, consumes and thinks about food. It is a summit for everyone everywhere – a people’s summit. It is also a solutions summit that will require everyone to take action to transform the world’s food systems.

The Summit’s Action Tracks offer stakeholders from a wide range of backgrounds a space to share and learn, with a view to fostering new actions and partnerships and amplifying existing initiatives. Over the next two weeks, the Summit will host a series of Public Forums on Action Track 2, 3 and 5 in order to hear from you. You can find more information on each event and register to participate at the following links:
Fri, Dec 4 - Action Track 5 Public Forum
Wed, Dec 9 - Action Track 2 Public Forum
Thu- Dec 10 - Action Track 3 Public Forum

The Public Forums for Action Track 1 and 4 have already taken place, but you can view those and the latest events on our YouTube channel.

You are also invited to sing up and become a Food Systems Hero! Joining the Summit community as a Food Systems Hero means a commitment over the next 10 months to Act, Share, Learn and Gather, so that together we can forge a powerful movement to fight for stronger, fairer and more sustainable food systems around the world.
