Vice President, Climate-Smart Agriculture, Environmental Defense Fund - working at the intersection of agriculture & food, climate and natural climate solutions.

At COP29, world leaders are focusing on climate finance. This is a crucial opportunity to ensure farmers get the right support to transition to climate-smart agriculture practices. Less than 5% of climate finance currently reaches food and agriculture, even though the sector contributes one-third of global emissions and is on the frontlines of climate impacts. We need better, more accessible and impactful financing to help farmers reduce emissions, boost resilience and keep us all fed on a changing planet. High-quality climate finance means: 💸Accessible funds for farmers when they need them. 🚜Targeted investments that drive real climate action. 📢Concessional terms to avoid putting farmers and countries into unsustainable debt. Let’s push for climate finance that supports farmers around the world and secures a sustainable food future.
