Food Forward NDCS: Summary Update to 2022 Report
We cannot achieve the Paris Agreement goals without transforming our food systems as they account for a third of global greenhouse gas emissions. But are Parties to the Paris Agreement integrating food systems within their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs)?
As of September 27, 2024, 172 Parties to the UNFCCC (which includes the EU-27 representing 27 member states of the European Union) have submitted 146 updated or revised NDCs. An analysis of these updated NDCs shows that while more and more countries are recognizing that food systems are a crucial part of climate action through their international pledges compared to their previous NDCs, additional measures and implementation of these plans are needed.
Read the full summary update on the status of food systems in NDCs here.
