The participation comes as part of the UAE delegation led by His Highness Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the Minister of Foreign Affairs and a Deputy Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates.
The delegation focused on the UAE growing role as a Responsible Global Citizen, with particular emphasis on dialogue, cooperation, and building bridges to address urgent global challenges, including the climate change.
This expanded initiative underscores the UAE's commitment to spearheading global food system innovation and tackling the interconnected challenges of food security, climate change, and water scarcity.
Building on the success of its previous iterations, the FoodTech Challenge 3.0 will leverage a powerful network of global partners, including the Gates Foundation and CGIAR, to identify and scale groundbreaking solutions within the food-water-energy nexus.
Leadership from the United States, United Arab Emirates, United Nations Foundation, and Bezos Earth Fund participated in an event, hosted by the Council on Foreign Relations, emphasizing the need for innovative action at the intersection of climate change and food security.
The event marked the official launch of the AIM for Climate Report: “Cultivating Transformative Investments in Climate-Smart Agriculture and Food Systems Innovation.” Developed in partnership with the United Nations Foundation, the report encourages partners to continue advocating for increased public and private investment in and support for climate-smart agriculture and food systems innovation.
