Time is Now.
We were delighted to be joined by His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales
who shared the final call to action of the week, stressing the next
twelve months are absolutely critical in raising ambition for COP26, and
building our roadmaps for the decade
ahead. HRH also spoke about his new “Sustainable
Markets Initiative” which sets out why the time to act is now.
4th Agricultural Revolution
It is clear that technology and
innovation will be crucial to increasing food production to sustain the
growing population and aid the environment. Dr. Qu Dongyu, Director
General at the FAO emphasised the importance of harnessing
the potential of innovation to make this agricultural revolution a
reality.
Global Food System
Margaret Kuhlowat the WWF raised the key issue of the need to
change our food system, with our panellists agreeing that policy
ambition is required to drive the scaling and speeding up of action.
Gonzalo Munoz, COP25 Climate Action Champion, echoed
this, saying we have to recognise our food system is broken, but
crucial to fix as it holds key solutions to the multitude of problems we
face.
Nature-Based Solutions
Zack
Parisa at SilviaTerra spoke of how we need to transform how our forests
are valued and managed, pointing out the importance of harmonising data
and nature
for the health of our planet. Dr. Musonda Mumba at UNEP spoke of the
importance of data accessibility and to ensure we learn from past
mistakes so that it doesn’t lead to inequality.
Paris Agreement
For the closing session of the Forum, we were joined by Governor of
California Gavin Newsom, a refreshing climate voice from the USA.
Speaking from the seat Ronald Reagan sat in, Governor Newsom spoke about
the stark consequences the climate crisis has had
on all Californians, and how they now regularly ‘see’ climate change.
He urged the importance of the US re-joining the Paris Agreement on
January 21 and ended the week’s event on a positive high.
