Watch this Food Systems Call to Action endorser network webinar to hear from expert speakers on insights and expectations of the 3 Rio Convention Summits in 2024 – CBD COP16, COP29, and CCD COP16 – and discuss a set of high-level food systems messages and asks, building on the Food Systems Call to Action.

The Food Systems Call to Action raises the urgent need to take action on food systems to deliver for people, nature, and climate. Launched at COP28 by the UN Climate Change High-Level Champions and endorsed by hundreds of food systems actors, it will remain open until COP30. The Call to Action outlines a shared vision and priority set of actions from a broad and diverse multi-stakeholder community.

Just Rural Transition (JRT), the Climate Champions Team, and Ambition Loop hosted three virtual open dialogues, in the lead up to the Rio Conventions in 2024 and COP30 for farmers, Indigenous Peoples, women, youth, and local community leaders working at the frontlines of food systems transformation, to share key priorities for the Rio Conventions, identify areas of collaboration and collective influencing, and align on advocacy plans around the Food Systems Call to Action.

The recording is available in English, Spanish, and Portuguese.
