On the sidelines of December’s UN climate talks in Lima (COP20), CARE International, the CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS) and the Technical Centre for Agricultural and Rural Cooperation (CTA) hosted a seminar to raise awareness about and discuss approaches to help address climate change challenges to food and nutrition security.
Post-2015 actions must promote food and nutrition security in the face of climate change if we are to shift course towards long-term sustainability. The six issues to be discussed at this event are critical to success.
The event brought together a wide range of participants from civil society, research, government, and the private sector for interactive discussions and debates.
