[Virtual] 5th Global Conference of the Sustainable Food Systems Programme

Building on the recommendations of the SFS Programme’s 4th global conference and the impetus generated by the UNFCCC COP28 Consensus and UAE Declaration, the KMGBF, and the UNFSS stocktaking process, and mindful of other related processes such as the UN Convention to Combat Desertification, the Nutrition for Growth Summit and the WTO Agriculture negotiations, the objectives of the 5th global conference are:

• To encourage meaningful, inclusive and cross-sectoral collaboration at all levels to urgently address food systems challenges through convergence across all related policy areas.
• To inspire action to overcome the barriers to food systems transformation by showcasing integrated solutions for the coherent implementation of global commitments across different policy areas.
• To stimulate further mainstreaming of food systems in all relevant multilateral agreements and policy fora, financial institutions as well as donor and investment strategies.
