Do you want to provide advice and feedback into recommendations for how the
U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) should support the
transformation of food systems in the face of climate change?  Please join
USAID and experts drafting a key report that will inform USAID’s
agriculture, nutrition, and food security work on Monday, November 14th at
6:25 pm EET (11:25 am EST).  This listening session will seek input from
COP attendees and the wider public on the preliminary findings of a study
on systemic approaches to climate change adaptation and mitigation in
agricultural, nutrition, and food systems. The study results will inform
program and policy decisionmaking by USAID.



In response to USAID’s priority to take action on the climate crisis, the
Board for International Food and Agricultural Development (BIFAD
<http://www.usaid.gov/bifad>), a U.S. presidentially appointed advisory
board to USAID on development challenges in agriculture and food security,
formed the Subcommittee on Systemic Solutions for Climate Change Adaptation
and Mitigation in Agricultural, Nutrition, and Food Systems
<https://www.usaid.gov/bifad/climatechange> in May 2022. The subcommittee’s
work will inform BIFAD recommendations to USAID on accelerating systems
change to achieve transformative climate change adaptation and mitigation
outcomes in agricultural, nutrition, and food systems, in support of the USAID
Climate Strategy 2022–20 <https://www.usaid.gov/climate/strategy>30
<https://www.usaid.gov/climate/strategy>23
<https://www.usaid.gov/climate/strategy>.



The subcommittee is guiding a BIFAD-commissioned study that draws upon
existing evidence and consultation with subject-matter experts in the
following areas:

●        climate-resilient pathways for inclusive, transformative systemic
change in food, agricultural, and nutrition systems;

●        priority systems for inclusive transformation in food,
agriculture, and nutrition;

●        barriers to inclusive transformation in agricultural, nutrition,
and food systems;

●        priority leverage points for transformative systemic change; and

●        climate finance to catalyze inclusive adaptation and mitigation
actions in the agricultural, food, and nutrition sector.



In this listening session, members of the subcommittee and authors of the
BIFAD-commissioned study will present preliminary findings
<http://www.usaid.gov/bifad/climatechangeworkingpaper>, with dedicated time
for participant comment and discussion. The session objectives are to 1)
improve recommendations for the ambitious implementation of the USAID
Climate Strategy, 2022–2030, 2) identify points of consensus and key gaps
based on feedback from the wider agricultural, nutrition, food systems and
climate change communities, and 3) strengthen the utility of the study
based on community recommendations.
