COP28 | Farming for our future: Growing climate resilience

1 December 2023
7h30 - 9h00
Dubai, UAE

Climate change is impacting farmers everywhere. But for the most vulnerable, climate change is not just causing food shortages – it’s wiping out the means of survival for hundreds of millions of people.

COP28 is a critical moment to elevate the importance of agriculture and how its transformation is crucial to addressing climate change.

Co-hosted by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and Community Jameel, in partnership with Goals House, this interactive breakfast event will bring together key voices to discuss agricultural adaptation and food security through a live action cooking demonstration that will also highlight the specific role of science and innovation to find solutions to these challenges.
