Agroecology in action - An integrated approach for the SDGs

Despite the huge challenges faced by the agriculture sector, such as climate change, environmental degradation, biodiversity reduction, rapid population and economic growth, sustainable and resilient agriculture offers tremendous opportunities to realize the Sustainable Development Goals, producing more and better food while protecting and restoring the environment, and improving livelihoods.

In this webinar, the experts will discuss 

1. how diversified agroecological systems have demonstrated to address poverty, hunger, climate change mitigation and adaptation, and can realize 12 of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals in areas such as health, education, gender, water, energy and economic growth;
2. and the reasons why agroecology is important for UNEP’s work and the Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework.
