Notes: Roughly 1/3 of GHGs originate from the food sector, a figure inclusive of fossil fuel contributions with an estimated to cost the global economy 10% of its GDP annually. These costs primarily stem from adverse impacts on human health, food wastage, water pollution, and climate effects. Emphasized was the urgent need for significantly higher carbon pricing. The Good Food Finance Facility will start operations in 2024 as a global co-investment platform for food systems transformation. We broadcasted live from COP 28 just past the midpoint.

In a series of short videos, our leaders from across the globe shared their passionate conversations about shifting money in a way that makes our planet prosperous and fair for everyone using the Talanoa Dialogue method. We are grateful for all that they taught us. You are encouraged to watch the dialogues in their entirety.
