Extreme weather events pose one of the biggest threats to global food security.

The WFP Climate Impact Evaluation Forum from 7-9 October in Bangkok, Thailand brings together over 70 participants from the Asia Pacific region, including governments, UN agencies, academia and climate change policy-makers to promote the use of causal evidence for decision-making, particularly in the areas of climate change and anticipatory action, lead the capacity strengthening for WFP impact evaluation, and support an evidence culture in the Asia Pacific region.
