Promoting inclusive climate actions in agrifood systems

Agrifood systems are highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, while at the same time they are a major source of greenhouse gas emissions. Climate change could push an additional 100 million people into extreme poverty by 2030 and result in more than 216 million people migrating within their own region by 2050. The most affected are small-scale producers and vulnerable rural populations including women, youth and Indigenous Peoples, who are most dependent on these resources for their livelihoods. Yet, poverty and other forms of marginalization often prevent vulnerable rural people from adapting to and mitigating climate change. As a result, this can exacerbate already existing socio-economic inequalities and undermine global efforts to reduce poverty and hunger. The transformation of agrifood systems in rural areas through inclusive and gender-responsive policies and programmes is essential to effectively address the global climate crisis in a just and sustainable manner.
