The community of the world’s nations adopted a landmark framework to support global biodiversity last December 19, and the agreement contains significant contributions from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations , committed to make sure that the needs and impacts of agrifood systems are given due consideration.
“The COP15 summit was a success as a framework for the future was agreed,” said FAO Deputy Director-General Maria Helena Semedo, who headed FAO’s delegation at the summit and is responsible for the Natural Resources and Sustainable Production stream at the UN agency. “Now we have measurable objectives and dedicated financial mechanisms, which is a big step forward.”
FAO and partners also hosted a series of side events to highlight specific topics.
“Any solution to stop and reverse biodiversity loss will require agrifood system transformation, and the Global Biodiversity Framework will not succeed without the engagement of the food and agriculture sectors,” said Frederic Castell, Senior Natural Resources Officer and leader of FAO’s work on biodiversity mainstreaming. Agrifood systems are central to around half the targets of the new Framework, he added.
