CCAFS @ COP26 | ClimateShot: A Mission to Transform Agriculture
During this event, governments, the private sector, research and farmer organisations will highlight the key steps they wish to take individually and collectively to close the agricultural ‘innovation gap’ and reach our ambitions in climate action as part of the Global Action Agenda for Innovation in Agriculture.
This event is being held in partnership with the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO).

The #climateshot campaign
This event is part of the #ClimateShot campaign, co-chaired by the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) and the CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS). Calling for increasing investment, engagement and collaboration, the campaign seeks to put the transformation of agricultural innovation at the heart of climate action at COP26 and to close the ‘innovation gap’ in agriculture and food systems.
The campaign, supported by an alliance of 140+ actors and institutions, will culminate at COP26 with the launch of the Global Action Agenda for Innovation in Agriculture. Visit the ClimateShot website for more information on the campaign: climateshot.earth
