CFS 52 Side Event - The Convergence Initiative: Converging Food Systems and Climate Action for Better Food Security and a Sustainable Future

The Convergence Initiative was launched at COP28 to enable governments and stakeholders at the national level to strengthen synergetic action for food systems transformation, supporting the achievement of the SDGs and the Paris Climate Agreement.

This side event at the 52nd Plenary Session of the Committee on World Food Security (CFS52) will highlight the Convergence Initiative’s framework as a tool for achieving food security and environmental safeguarding as well as articulate its roadmap towards COP29, COP30, and UNFSS+4. It serves as a platform for stakeholders to provide feedback and share best practices to better inform policy development and implementation.
