Global Food Policy Report 2022 South Asia Launch: Climate change and food systems transformation in India

Global action to address climate change—and its many impacts on food systems—has gathered momentum recently with developments like the first-ever UN Food Systems Summit (UNFSS) and the UN Climate Change Summit in Glasgow (COP26), both in 2021. To continue moving forward, a wide range of investments is required in climate-related research, development, policies, and programs related to food systems.

IFPRI’s 2022 Global Food Policy Report (GFPR) aims to advance that goal, exploring opportunities for accelerated action in policy and investment decision-making for climate change adaptation, mitigation, and resilience. A July 21 GFPR launch event in New Delhi, organized by IFPRI’s South Asia Regional Office in collaboration with the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR), examined prospects for climate investment and policy on the subcontinent and globally.
