No other sector is more sensitive to climate change as agriculture. Yet no other sector holds the potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in our lifetime as agriculture. At the UN Climate Change Conference in Bonn, FAO will support countries to ensure
that the linkages between climate change, agriculture and food security are made for enhanced climate action.
Join us in discussing how we can tackle hunger, poverty and climate change together to meet the Sustainable
Development Agenda and achieve Zero Hunger.
