The in-session workshop on socioeconomic and food security dimensions of climate change in the agricultural sector was held in conjunction with the UNFCCC Climate Dialogues 2020. Experts from Parties, international organizations, the private sector, research organizations, civil society and constituted bodies under the Convention as well as farmers presented experience and challenges and barriers in relation to achieving a transformation in agriculture that addresses socioeconomic and food security dimensions of climate change, and engaged in in-depth discussion on the potential, co-benefits and synergies with multiple objectives involved in such a transformation. The workshop provided the opportunity to begin discussing options for increasing synergy and collaboration among stakeholders, while highlighting that farmers must be at the centre of all discussions and decision-making on climate change, including socioeconomic and food security dimensions, and agriculture.
