It was a great pleasure to present the results of the #AgricultureBreakthrough in this session (remotely). We talked of 5 pathways of achieving just transitions, one of them being responsible consumption, including reducing unsustainably high consumption of animal-sourced food.
The world can't meet its climate or development goals without transforming agri-food systems. Urgent action is needed.
Today at #COP28, we discussed the tools and approaches that are delivering change and what more needs to be done.

If are to have any hope of keeping 1.5c alive, #COP28 must deliver unequivocal language on fossil fuel phase out
Countries need to decide whether they want to be on the right, or wrong, side of history

The partnership between the UK & @CGIAR is a fantastic step towards addressing climate impacts for small-scale farmers! As we head into #COP28, scaling up climate finance for organizations like CGIAR that are improving resilience for our most vulnerable communities is critical.
Today, @RishiSunak announced the launch of the UK’s first CGIAR center, at the Global Food Security Summit #GFSS23. The event brought together governments, scientists, NGOs and the private sector for action on global food security. #UKCGIAR

Yesterday UK PM launched the #UKCGIAR Centre to develop links between cutting-edge UK science and @CGIAR research #GFSS23 #UKDev
The UK is launching a new science hub to develop climate-resilient crops and identify risks to global food systems.
Led by @CGIAR, it will link UK scientists with research initiatives to develop crops that can withstand the impacts of climate change and are more disease-resistant.

📣We are proud to announce new UK support to @CropTrust, helping protect the priceless crop diversity stored in global seed banks which hold 80% of the world’s crop genetic resources in trust for future generations.
@CGIAR #GFSS23
Achieving this impact from biofortification has taken a lot of hard work from @HarvestPlus & partners. And results are testament to the importance of long-term investments in #Science and #Innovation, targeted on the biggest global challenges #GFSS23 #UKDev

NEW: Today's UK-hosted #GlobalFoodSecuritySummit will showcase how science and innovation can boost global food security.
New UK support will advance food security by developing climate change resilient crops and boosting funding to tackle severe child malnutrition.

I work with people like these who are trying to #adapt to #ClimateChange at local level. However, to expect that they can solve problems they didn’t create without the rich stopping their unsustainable consumption and emissions is a lie. Every article needs to have that caveat.
Rachel Lambert retweeted
Fascinating to see @CABI_News’ UK funded research which has so far reached over 60m farmers in 34 countries.
Monday’s UK hosted Global Food Security Summit will further discuss how science and innovation will play a vital role in tackling poverty around the world.
