This webinar featured experts on food and farming under climate change in a new climate change deal

This two-hour webinar provided an overview of where and how agriculture is positioned in the UNFCCC climate negotiations, and it presents a series of resources for advocates and communicators to engage meaningfully at COP21 and its technical subsidiary bodies (e.g. SBSTA).  

It was aimed at climate change negotiators, their technical advisors and any agricultural organisation interested in food security and climate change. Participants will have the opportunity to pose questions to the speakers at the end of the session.
