The 2023 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP28) hosted by the United Arab Emirates in Dubai will take place between 30 November and 12 December.
The Conference is set to be a landmark event in the global effort to combat climate change and ensure food security for present and future generations.
COP28 brings together world leaders, policymakers, scientists, and stakeholders from across the globe to deliberate on strategies and commitments that will shape the future of our planet. For FAO, COP28 serves as a platform for collaborative dialogue, knowledge sharing, and decision-making on the unique role of agriculture and food systems in the fight against climate change. Agrifood system solutions are climate solutions. At the heart of climate action, they help to build resilience, adapt to climate change and reduce GHG emissions while safeguarding biodiversity and ensuring food security for all.
Co-hosting the Food and Agriculture Pavilion for the second consecutive year, FAO is at COP28 advocating for global action on climate, agriculture and food security and will be leading events and supporting member countries with technical advice both within and outside the climate negotiations.
FAO is also one of the main partners of the Water4Climate Pavilion, a collaborative effort of over 60 organizations to unify and amplify the voice of the international water community within climate spaces.
