IFSA in collaboration with FAO and other Pre-COP partners is organizing the event on 1st October, 2021. We are counting down the days to our joint pre-COP26 event on “Harnessing the power of youth for enhanced climate action in the lead up to COP26” and counting on you to help us promote the event!
The roundtable will gather youth groups, influencers, companies, academic institutions, non-profits, governments, and the public to drive awareness, foster engagement, and advocate for agri-food systems transformation to reach climate change resilience through intergenerational collaboration and youth-led action. The interactive format aims at boosting climate action through audience engagement, presentations and promotion of proposals/pilot projects and success stories.
This roundtable will provide a stage for some of the most innovative brains behind the solutions we can identify to address the climate-food systems poverty nexus. The event highlights the need for intergenerational collaboration between different stakeholders while presenting synergies and linkages between climate mitigation and adaptation, poverty reduction and food security. The roundtable will provide recommendations and transformative solutions to make significant contributions towards achieving both the SDGs and the objectives of the Paris Agreement.
This event will provide a platform for solutions to some of today’s most urgent global challenges: Even though we produce enough food to feed everyone in the world, nearly 700 million people go hungry. A number that is constantly growing in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, an increase in threats including climate change, pests, plagues, and conflict is compounding this global food crisis.
Covering a wide ethnic, age, and regional representation in the list of speakers from civil society, private sector, research and policymaker background, the discussion will be between youth and senior leaders who have found concrete transformative solutions to make our food systems more climate-resilient.
Please register, then share the invitation widely so that as many young people from around the world will join!
We invite you to register for the Pre-COP event “Harnessing the power of youth for enhanced climate action in the lead up to COP 26” taking place on Zoom on 1 October 13:00 – 14:00 CEST.
