Food Systems Climate Action Plans

Today, agrifood systems account for about a third of global Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions. Without dedicated mitigation action, GHG emissions from the agrifood system alone will put the goals of the Paris Agreement out of reach. At the same time, agri-food systems are highly vulnerable to climate change and therefore for adaption of these systems is of utmost importance. The objective of this assignment was to develop an approach paper for the World Bank for a new generation of country-level Food System Climate Action Plans (FS-CAPs). The FS-CAPs aim to identify policies and investments facilitating the transition to low-emission and climate resilient food systems.
