November 7, 2025 /3BL/ – The climate crisis is a hunger crisis. In 2024, extreme weather drove food crises in 18 countries, while the industrialized food system continues to generate over one-third of global greenhouse gas emissions. COP30 in Brazil presents a critical opportunity to advance a Just Transition in agriculture and food systems—one that is sustainable and enables access to affordable, nutritious food for all.
Experts from leading global nonprofit Action Against Hunger are available at COP30 to discuss the urgent need for just transitions in agriculture and food systems, climate finance in fragile contexts, and agroecological solutions to help mitigate climate crisis and enhance resilience.
