World Bank Tokyo Seminar “Recipe for a Livable Planet: Achieving Net Zero Emissions in the Agrifood System”

• OVERVIEW
• AGENDA
• SPEAKERS

The global agrifood system presents a huge opportunity to cut almost a third of the world's greenhouse gas emissions through affordable and readily available actions, while continuing to feed a growing population, according to a new World Bank report, Recipe for a Livable Planet: Achieving Net Zero Emissions in the Agrifood System.

Recipe for a Livable Planet: Achieving Net Zero Emissions in the Agrifood System outlines actions that every country can take. These will make food supplies more secure, help the food system better withstand climate change, and protect vulnerable people during this transition.

The report notes that the agrifood system is a huge, untapped source of low-cost climate change action. Unlike other sectors, it can have an outsized impact on climate change by reducing emissions and drawing carbon naturally from the atmosphere.

At this seminar, William Sutton, Globa Lead for Climate Smart Agriculture and Lead Agricultural Economist, and Alexander Lotsch, Senior Climate Finance Specialist, will present the main findings of the report. This seminar will be held in English, without interpretation into Japanese.
