For the first time ever during UN Climate Change talks, FAO presented all its work on food security and climate change in one single event. Near 100 attendants had the chance to learn more about FAO’s work on climate change in one single venue and engage in a debate on topics ranging from fisheries to soil carbon sequestration, all the way to genetic resources and energy and food systems.
Experiences from Malawi, South Africa, Brazil and Cambodia on Climate-smart agricultural practices, deforestation and fisheries were also discussed during this one day event.
An event that deserves a repeat for sure. If you didn’t get a chance to attend, no worries the presentations are here and there will be a side event on 2 December on climate-smart agriculture organized by the Rome-based agencies: FAO, IFAD, WFP at COP 17 at 13.15-14.45 in Room 2 of the ICC center in Durban, South Africa.
