Land-Food-Climate: An African-European Dialogue on Climate Resilience (Event #1)

Recording of the first event of the series "Land-Food-Climate: An African-European Dialogue on Climate Resilience" organised by TMG Research gGmbH, Robert Bosch Stiftung, Future Africa, and ARUA Centre of Excellence in Sustainable Food Systems.
This event, entitled "Climate Resilience through the Right to Food: Perspectives from the UNFSS" addressed the right to food as an important entry point for transforming current unequal, and unsustainable development pathways. The interactive panel sessions explored how to reshape African-European dialogue to help accelerate the transformation towards more climate resilient landscapes “that work for people.” Taking the perspective of African smallholder farmers and pastoralists who are among the most severely affected by the impacts of accelerated climate change, highlighted why a rights-based approach is a critical link in implementing nature-based solutions that enhance sustainable livelihoods while protecting the environment. The session concluded by outlining some insights for the UN Food Systems Summit (UNFSS) process, especially considering growing concern that the Summit may not achieve its fundamental goal of transforming our broken food systems unless it takes on board the perspectives of key stakeholder groups.
