Climate change is pushing up food prices — and worrying central banks—Globally, annual food inflation rates could rise by up to 3.2 percentage points per year within the next decade or so… ft.com/content/125e89c0-308a… @FT @SavageSusannah

Climate change is pushing up food prices — and worrying central banks

Shifting weather patterns are reducing crop yields and squeezing supplies, creating what could become a permanent source of inflation

I spoke with Sea Forest founder and CEO @SamElsom_, on a recent visit to Tasmania. This is an innovative Australian business, with Sam and his team doing world leading work, by using seaweed to reduce methane emissions from livestock.

Water is not an infinite resource. We need to stop taking it for granted. Let’s use this resource sustainably! #WaterAction

🚨Historic agreement at @COP28_UAE to rapidly shift away from fossil fuels, triple global renewables & reduce methane by 2030. Global agreement the death knell for coal, oil & gas. Aus is 3rd largest exporter of fossil fuel so time for change.⚡️ #auspol climatecouncil.org.au/resour…

Methane is fuelling the #ClimateCrisis. To limit global warming to 1.5°C and avoid ever more dangerous climate change, we need to reduce #methane emissions from livestock. Click to learn more⤵️ #LivestockMethane

We need an equitable fossil fuel phase out— any country that blocks this language from the text is jeopardizing our chance to stay below 1.5 degrees We must implement a just phase out of fossil fuels globally- with the countries with highest historic emissions stepping up first

In 1971, engineers from the Soviet Union ignited a fire in a gas-filled hole in the Turkmenistan desert. Anticipating that the flames would extinguish within days, they were surprised when the fire continued to burn. Now, 52 years later, this site, known as “The Door to Hell,” is still ablaze.

Food & agriculture offer many of the solutions to #ClimateChange. This is why @FAO is at #COP28 advocating for #ClimateAction in agrifood systems, leading events & supporting countries with technical advice both within & outside the climate negotiations.

Today saw the launch of a ‘Call to Action for Transforming Food Systems for People, Nature, and Climate’, signed by over 200 diverse Non-State Actors, committing to taking ten priority actions to transform food systems and calling for a set of time-bound, holistic, and global targets by COP29 at the latest. Launched by HE Razan Al Mubarak, UN High Level Champion for COP28, in collaboration with Non-State Actors, the Call to Action highlights the urgent need to take action on food systems and centers the need to support farmers, and other frontline and vulnerable groups alongside respect and value for the traditional knowledge of Indigenous Peoples. #COP28 #UniteActDeliver

Farmers are reaching boiling point The AUSVEG survey earlier this year showed 34% of vegetable growers were considering leaving the industry & a livestock market crash not reflected in supermarket prices. It’s important now more than ever to #keepfarmersfarming

Replying to @SadhguruJV @cpsavesoil
It's important that we understand, this is not just about awareness, it's time for action. If we believe that COP is the fulcrum of change, we must push for action instead of engaging in more conversations and more conversations. -Sg #SaveSoil #SoilForClimateAction #COP28UAE @cpsavesoil @COP28_UAE @UNCCD
