The 28th Conference of the Parties (COP28) of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) will be held in Dubai from 30 November to 12 December. Although the spotlight will be on the transition from fossil fuels to clean energy, the talks will also cover the possible ways of transforming food systems, a transformation that is torn between technological approaches and nature-based solutions such as agroecology.
This COP will also be an opportunity to address major agricultural issues such as soil health and the role of soils, forest preservation, livestock production and One Health. 热博体育 will be contributing on these topics during side events. It is important to remember that the agricultural sector currently receives just 2% of climate funding, whereas it contributes to almost 37% of GHG emissions, deforestation included.
