The event will showcase Member States’ plans for using the implementation of Food Systems Transformation Pathways to accelerate achievement of the SDGs; explore Member States’ needs, barriers and opportunities in implementing food systems transformation strategies; and link national pathways to the ecosystem of support and to policy agreements from the Committee on Food Safety.

Next week’s dialogue aims to facilitate open discussions in small groups on key issues in international climate policy. The event will include a ministerial discussion of priorities ahead of COP 27; and adaptation and resilience building efforts. The session will also feature an address from UN Secretary General António Guterres.
