This #COP28 event by WWF, Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT and the Crop Trust explores the power of #cropdiversity for adaptation and mitigation of the impact of climate change on food security. 🗓️ Dec 04 ⏰ 10:30 GMT+4 Follow the live stream from IICA pavilion ➡️ buff.ly/46D6qub

Our #COP28 event, "Unleashing the Power of Crop Diversity for Climate Resilience," highlighted the power of #cropdiversity for improving nutrition and food security globally. We explored synergies for a resilient future with partners from CGIAR, EmiratesNature_WWF, and IICA!

Great meeting with Carla Montesi, Director for Green Deal & Digital Agenda at EU International Partnerships 🇪🇺 on the sidelines of #COP28. We are grateful to European Commission for supporting international #genebanks and #cropdiversity conservation through our Endowment Fund.

Live #COP28 coverage from the The Guardian about today's side event on #cropdiversity. "There is no food security without it but we're losing diversity from the fields and too many seed banks are inadequately resourced," said Stefan Schmitz. More ➡️ buff.ly/3T9WB46

Empowering women & youth is crucial in combating malnutrition & climate change. At #COP28 with Scaling Up Nutrition (SUN) Movement, we must emphasize the essential role of youth in sustainable food systems. Let's commit to building an equitable, resilient & nourishing future! bit.ly/3NtY01N

🥗 Ensuring #foodsecurity 🌤️ Adapting to #climatechange 🌿 Reducing environmental degradation 🍞 Protecting nutritional security 📉 Reducing #poverty and 🚜 Ensuring sustainable #agriculture = just six reasons why it matters to conserve #cropdiversity. #COP28

The morning event in #AgriFoodPavilion at #COP28 engaged the participants in fruitful discussions on bringing more #cropdiversity to the fields and safeguarding and utilizing indigenous crop varieties for better nutrition and food security. 📺 Watch: buff.ly/4a98H3u

Important new report: Just as in the IPCC, it shows that if we go beyond 1.5, we enter a high-risk zone of crossing tipping points. We need to move fast to avoid moving to a point where the Earth system takes over & pushed us in a direction with unmanageable conditions.

We are grateful to the United Kingdom for its ongoing support for the conservation of plant genetic resources in #genebanks. Stefan Schmitz

We're all like snowflakes, all different in our own beautiful way. #cropdiversity

Today in Berlin, Colombia's Ambassador Yadir Salazar-Mejia 🇨🇴 and our Executive Director Stefan Schmitz discussed the crucial role of neglected crops and preserving indigenous knowledge and conservation practices for rural development. Grateful for the support of our mission, we look

Flachowsky: "A lot of #Plant- #GeneticResources are not native in Europe - we need to built up strong linkages to countries in the global south". ...PGR are crucial for #PreBreeding to face new #challenges in #CropProduction. It has been a pleasure for us #GFFA2024! The Crop Trust

Deeper collaboration between national and international #genebanks and more global support for the #cropdiversity conservation are the key to the future #foodsecurity. We are grateful to all the speakers and participants at our #GFFA2024 panel!
