The hundreds of millions of farmers worldwide represented in the UNFCCC Farmers’ Constituency issued a joint response to the “COP28 UAE Declaration on Sustainable Agriculture, Resilient Food Systems, and Climate Action.”
The Farmers’ constituency welcomes the ‘COP28 UAE Declaration on Sustainable Agriculture, Resilient Food Systems And Climate Action’ and strongly agrees that a systems-based approach is essential not only to reduce agricultural emissions but also to deliver a step change in global food security and the well-being of farmers and rural communities.
The Declaration will only achieve its objectives if farmers are at the decision-making table. We invite governments to focus on working with us to co-design policies that empower and enable farmers to unlock farmer-driven climate and food security solutions and leads to food systems that are fair, inclusive and climate-resilient.
