Time: 14:30- 15:30 AZT
Location: UN Azerbaijan - Pavilion
This is an official event of the UN Azerbaijan-Pavilion of the UNFCCC COP29.
Organizer: UNEP
Description:
Food loss and waste generates 8 to 10 percent of GHGs and is a methane hotspot. Methane is a powerful greenhouse gas and short-lived climate pollutant (SLCP) primarily emitted by human activities.
Food waste reduction is a critical and necessary action required for meeting our climate and equity targets, however it is clear from this halfway mark in the mission to deliver the SDGs by 2030 that not enough mobilization and partnership has occurred for us to meet our goal of delivering food systems that incorporate circularity, protect natural resources and community health, and preserve local cultures, cuisine and food sovereignty. This event will launch the Food Breakthrough, a multi-stakeholder call to action for food waste reduction through multi-level action.
