This webinar was co-convened by the FAO and the Climate and Environment Charter Secretariat at the HNPW.
Local communities in fragile settings are disproportionately affected by climate impacts and humanitarian crises. These crises significantly impact small-scale farmers, herders, fishers, forest dwellers, food workers, and their families, who are vital for global and local food and nutrition security. This session highlighted the experiences of local women leaders actively engaged in climate action within agrifood systems, including in fragile settings. The webinar explored how international actors can better support locally led adaptation and resilience efforts, fostering more inclusive and robust agrifood systems.
