Anette Engelund Friis, responsible for climate change issues at the World Farmers’ Organization and a member of the Farming First Steering Committee, discusses key issues that need to be addressed at the upcoming UNFCCC climate conference COP19 in Poland.
Climate change is transforming the world, with extreme and unpredictable weather patterns altering the natural landscape. The Global Landscapes Forum, due to take place in Warsaw 16-17 November, will look specifically at this issue, addressing ways the world can use forests and land in a sustainable way whilst also providing the necessary food to feed the world. Raising essential questions about the way we all use natural resources, and in particular how we can achieve food security in an increasingly sustainable way, this years program features discussions on the future of sustainable landscapes and landscapes for food security and nutrition.
