The second Global Conference on Agriculture, Food Security and Climate Change will take place in Hanoi from September 3-7.
The event will be attended by global
leaders, practitioners, scientists, civil society organisations and the private
sector, with a focus on climate-smart agriculture as a driving force for green
growth.
The conference aims to call on countries to apply best practice and technologies in climate-smart agriculture and food security. It will highlight the importance of government-led partnerships with non-state agencies in building strategies, policies and appropriate market-based approaches to promote climate-smart agriculture.
Delegates will also discuss measures to boost public private partnerships (PPPs) in support of climate-smart agriculture.
Other priority activities that will be highlighted during the conference include the streamlining of climate-smart agriculture into national and regional strategies, identification of new financing opportunities and the expansion of research and training initiatives.
They will also examine the promotion of risk management and implementation of new measurement methodologies.
