3rd Global Conference of the One Planet (10YFP) Sustainable Food Systems Programme
25 November – 3 December 2020
The 3rd Global Conference of the UN One Planet Network’s Sustainable Food Systems (SFS) Programme will take place virtually from 25 November through 3 December 2020. With the title “Achieving the SDGs through Food Systems Transformation – On the Road to the Food Systems Summit in 2021”, the conference aims to provide substantial input to the UN 2021 Food Systems Summit (FSS21). It is open to thought leaders, policymakers, donors and food system actors from all stakeholder groups.
The objectives of the Conference are:
- to strengthen a common vision around inclusive multi-stakeholder collaboration as a pathway to achieve the profound transformation that our food systems require;
- to provide a platform for structured discussion around the science underlying global efforts to characterize and assess progress towards more sustainable food systems;
- and, overall, to raise the political importance of sustainable food systems among public and private sector leaders.
