We’re taking #ActionOnFood at COP29

Climate change is forcing people from their homes, bringing extreme poverty to already vulnerable communities, and becoming a major driver of food insecurity. At the same time, our food systems account for one-third of global emissions. That’s why at COP29, it is critical that countries take action on food — and locally led food banks can help.

Reduzir as emissões provenientes da perda e desperdício de alimentos é fundamental.

O mundo produz alimentos suficientes para todos, mas 735 milhões de pessoas enfrentam fome e um terço de todos os alimentos produzidos são perdidos ou desperdiçados. Ao recuperar os excedentes de alimentos, redistribuí-los às comunidades que enfrentam a fome e evitar que estes fiquem depositados em aterros e emitam gases com efeito de estufa, os bancos alimentares desempenham um papel importante e inovador para garantir que os alimentos acabam onde devem: nas mãos dos nossos vizinhos.


Série sobre Perda e Desperdício de Alimentos na COP29

Entre 15 e 20 de novembro de 2024, junte-se a nós para uma série de conversas dedicadas a chamar a atenção para a perda e o desperdício de alimentos (FLW) e as mudanças climáticas, com atenção especial para estratégias, compartilhamento de ideias e soluções.

The following sessions are co-hosted by GFN, WRAP, ReFED, and FareShare.

This session will explore how governments can demonstrate national and international leadership in advancing policies to reduce food loss and waste. The session will highlight countries that have put in place strategies and policies – such as promoting surplus food redistribution, implementing waste taxes and bans, and mandating separate food waste reporting.

A sessão contará com representantes governamentais e especialistas de vários países para compartilhar insights sobre como mobilizar apoio para políticas nacionais e como converter esse progresso na agenda global de transformação do sistema alimentar.
