Episode notes

As COP30 unfolded in Belém, we focused on one theme which is standing out, food systems.

Agriculture and food production are responsible for nearly one-third of global emissions, yet for millions in Africa and across the Global South, they’re also a matter of livelihoods, nutrition, and identity.

In this episode, I speak with Oliver Camp, Environment and Food Systems Advocacy Advisor - GLOBAL ALLIANCE FOR IMPROVED NUTRITION (GAIN), to explore:

• How food systems are finally making it onto the climate agenda

• Where finance and ambition are (or aren’t) meeting reality

• What the pledges mean for the Global South, smallholder farmers, and our shared path to 1.5°C
