🤝We must reinforce #Multilateralism and international cooperation to drive Climate Action in Food Systems. 🌱The only way overcome the climate crisis and secure a #JustTransition is through mutual cooperation, in the context of common, but differentiated responsabilities and respective capabilities. ---- 🤝Devemos reforçar o #Multilateralismo e a cooperação internacional para impulsionar a Ação Climática nos Sistemas Alimentares. 🌱A única forma de vencer a crise climática e garantir uma #TransiçãoJusta é através da cooperação mútua, no contexto de responsabilidades comuns, porém diferenciadas, e respectivas capacidades nacionais. #COP29 #Baku

If you’re not in it, you can’t win it. That is why Clim-Eat, not in spite of our critical stance on climate diplomacy but precisely because of it, will organize and attend events at COP29 Azerbaijan. This year, one of our key contributions is to underscore areas where progress is both necessary and possible. By engaging directly within the system, we aim to turn challenges into opportunities, maximizing our influence to guide meaningful change. At COP29, Clim-Eat, in collaboration with the Dutch Ministerie van Landbouw, Visserij, Voedselzekerheid en Natuur, Ministerie van Buitenlandse Zaken, Wageningen University & Research, the Southern African Confederation of Agricultural Unions (SACAU), AgriCord, and the Brazilian Ministerio da Agricultura, will organize an official side event dedicated to our most pressing question: ↳'𝐻𝑜𝑤 𝑐𝑎𝑛 𝑡ℎ𝑒 UN Climate Change 𝑓𝑟𝑎𝑚𝑒𝑤𝑜𝑟𝑘 𝑠𝑢𝑝𝑝𝑜𝑟𝑡 𝑎𝑚𝑏𝑖𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑢𝑠 𝑎𝑐𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑖𝑛 𝑓𝑜𝑜𝑑 𝑠𝑦𝑠𝑡𝑒𝑚𝑠 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑎𝑔𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑢𝑙𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑒?' Join us at Side Event 8 at 15:00 local time. In the coming days, we will share our other focus areas for this year's event.

Remember, remember, the 5th of November? 3 years ago, Clim-Eat was born in Glasgow at COP26 - UN Climate Change Conference 🙌🏾 It has been an incredible journey since then, ups and downs, successes and failures, tensions and peace, but above all it has been a journey with incredible people who have been part of this journey, Thank You 🙏🏾 Sharing some glimpses from this journey, but there are of course many more, as each day in this start up journey is filled with unique experiences. I will reflect and share some lessons in time, but meanwhile a huge thanks to all those who have supported us and helped us get this far 🙏🏾 There is still a long way to go, and as they say, “If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together", we want to go far and fast, so counting on all of you to make this happen 💪🏾

Suit on? Laptop charged? High-level language ready to go?   With COP29 just around the corner, we're expecting a lot of lofty language from delegates in Azerbaijan. Clim-Eat's latest film aims to bring climate change adaptation down to earth a bit, giving a glimpse of how farmers are already taking action and what might happen in the future.

Green ammonia in Africa? It was great to take time out from the soil health pilot development in Malawi to briefly meet with Bruno Partridge of C’Nergy Africa LTD. Such exciting development in the green ammonia business is being planned for Malawi. Bruno learnt the tricks of the nitrogen industry in Australia and has now returned to Malawi with big visions – that could transform the fertiliser industry through sun, water and air. He also recognises that to be truly green, the ultimate aim is to link with Malawi’s homegrown fertiliser developments, where inorganic-organic mixtures are making huge inroads for smallholder farmers. So, soil health initiatives linking with a revolutionised fertiliser supply chain?  Leanne Zeppenfeldt Senni Alho Clim-Eat Dr Dhanush Dinesh Annebelle Rombach Jacob Nyirongo

Are you hearing a lot of the talk about decentralized green ammonia and wondering what it’s really all about? We’ve got you covered! In our new Quick Guide, Clim-Eaters Senni, Annebelle, and Leanne take you on a little journey through the landscape of green ammonia. Check it out here 👉 https://lnkd.in/eWnPeN9H

Climate and nutrition are both in crisis. We need to change the game – and we'll be working on that 👇 👀 European Commission Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ),

A new article now out in Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, co-authored by Leanne Zeppenfeldt | Dr Dhanush Dinesh | Sietze Vellema explores an often divisive topic, the role of private sector led innovation in food systems, with a paradox lens 🔍 Check out Leanne's summary and the paradoxes identified👇🏾 The paper is available freely at 👉🏾 https://lnkd.in/e8a-eSvh

𝗣𝗵𝗗 𝗹𝗼𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴... 🔃 I’m thrilled to officially start my PhD journey at Wageningen University & Research, as part of the CPT Wageningen University chairgroup! As an external PhD candidate, I’ll be exploring the dynamics of change and inertia in food systems through various theoretical lenses. I’m especially excited to combine this research with my work at Clim-Eat, where I get to bridge science, policy, and practice. Huge thanks to Dr Dhanush Dinesh and Sietze Vellema for their support in getting to this point—this is just the beginning! Stay tuned for more updates!
