Globally, the energy sector accounts for almost three-quarters of total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and is thus responsible for the majority of adverse climate change impacts on rural livelihoods, including growing water, energy, and food insec
One of the most significant challenges for food systems today is ensuring that every individual has access to — and consumes — sustainable healthy diets.
Climate change and food systems: Transforming food systems for adaptation, mitigation, and resilience
Climate change is a growing threat to our food systems, with grim implications for food and nutrition security, livelihoods, and overall well-being, especially for poor and vulnerable people around the world.
Social protection programs are a central component of national strategies in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) to increase incomes for poor households and protect them from shocks to their livelihoods.
As growing populations, changing diets, and climate change affect growing conditions for crops, our agriculture and food systems must increase production and productivity to ensure access to healthy and diverse diets for all.
Climate change and associated extreme weather events directly impact the functioning and sustainability of food systems.
