For the first time in its 28-year history, COP28 put the world’s food systems in sharp focus. An entire day was dedicated to food, and at least 22 major events highlighted issues related to food; agriculture and water were highlighted throughout the two-week conference. Changing the way we eat has become a main course in climate talks.
Extreme weather events are jeopardizing global crops, resulting in crop shortages and price spikes. And in the long run, unchecked climate change threatens a third of the world’s food production, which could completely destabilize global food security and disrupt livelihoods.
