CCAFS @ COP26

CCAFS will put the transformation of global food systems at the heart of COP26.

From 31 October to 12 November, the 26th annual Conference of the Parties, or COP26, will take place. With the United Kingdom as President, COP26 takes place in Glasgow.

Among the 15 (and counting) events we're hosting or co-hosting across the COP26 programme, we're thrilled to also launch the ClimateShot Global Action Agenda for Innovation in Agriculture on Saturday 6 November in partnership with the UK's Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office.
