Fourth webinar on the nexus of climate change, biodiversity and nutrition

Following the UN Climate Conference (COP27) and currently at the UN Biodiversity Conference (COP15), FAO is promoting the need to further transform agrifood systems to reverse the decline in biodiversity, address climate change and combat food insecurity and malnutrition. By adopting an agrifood systems perspective – from production to consumption – the FAO publication ‘Climate change, biodiversity and nutrition nexus: emerging policies and programming opportunities’ (https://doi.org/10.4060/cb6701en) identified entry points that could simultaneously address all three challenges. Among its key messages at COP27 and now COP15, FAO emphasizes the need to reverse unsustainable production and consumption patterns that contribute to biodiversity loss, environmental degradation, and climate change.



On 13 December 2022, the Food and Nutrition Division (ESN) and the Office of Climate Change, Biodiversity and Environment (OCB) are organizing the fourth and final thematic webinar to unpack the nexus of climate change, biodiversity, and nutrition. The webinar will examine consumer behaviors about what, where and how they obtain, prepare, consume, and dispose of food, and how these are influenced by individual factors (including gender, age, and social factors), food environments and food supply chains. The webinar will also examine how food-based dietary guidelines, developed with a food systems lens, can potentially influence consumer behavior, and reduce climate change, biodiversity loss and malnutrition.
