🌱 من الطموح إلى الأثر: المضي قدمًا في تحويل النظم الغذائية والعمل المناخي في المنطقة العربية

على هامش مؤتمر الأطراف الحادي والثلاثين (#COP31)، نظّمت #الإسكوا، بالتعاون مع مركز الأمم المتحدة لتنسيق النظم الغذائية وجامعة الدول العربية، لقاء جانبيًا تحت عنوان "تحويل النظم الغذائية ن الطموح إلى الأثر". وجمعت الفعالية نخبة من الخبراء الإقليميين والدوليين، وواضعي السياسات، وممثلي المؤسسات التمويلية والشباب، لمناقشة السبل الكفيلة ببناء نظم غذائية أكثر قدرة على الصمود واستدامةً وشمولًا.

🌱 From Ambition to Impact: Advancing Food Systems Transformation and Climate Action in the Arab Region

At #COP31, #ESCWA, in collaboration with @FoodSystems and @arableague_gs, organized a side event titled “Transforming Food Systems and Delivering Climate Action: From Ambition to Impact”. The event brought together regional and international experts, policymakers, financing institutions and youth representatives to discuss pathways towards more resilient, sustainable and inclusive food systems.

Building on the outcomes of the 4th Arab Regional Food Systems Transformation Meeting, the discussion highlighted the region’s priorities through the lens of the Triple Cs: Climate, Conflict and Communities. The session explored how stronger regional cooperation, innovative financing, strategic partnerships and locally led solutions could help translate climate commitments into concrete action, while strengthening a coordinated Arab voice on food systems and climate action.
