From pledges to practice: How to scale nature-positive agriculture for climate impact at COP30

At COP28, a cross-sector coalition pledged to transition 160 million hectares of land to regenerative agriculture practices by 2030, backed by billions of dollars in investment and a plan to track outcomes on soil health, greenhouse gases (GHG), biodiversity, water and farmer livelihoods. This builds on the COP28 UAE Declaration on Sustainable Agriculture, Resilient Food Systems, and Climate Action, signed by over 130 countries.
