United Nations Climate Change Conference – COP25
50by40 was an active participant in this global assembly and engaged in myriad ways, including: promoting and attending a partner side-event and press conference; organising a private dinner for 30 policymakers and youth and civil society members from more than 17 countries to discuss equitable food system transformation from perspectives of the global majority; continuing dialogue with five top agroecology groups to consider different perspectives and better align our messaging and future advocacy efforts; facilitating the release of a letter signed by more than 50 scientists urging climate ministers to ‘peak livestock’ and mobilising endorsement by 29 partners of the letter’s recommendations; and co-organising an event at the Resilient Frontiers pavilion with our partner SLYCAN Trust, featuring two secretariat members and partner Compassion in World Farming and looking forward to a sustainable and climate-friendly future.
As well, our Global Director represented 50by40 at a press conference on diets, organised by our partner ProVeg International, and on a panel on food systems at the Global Climate and Health Summit, which took place adjacent to COP25.
