Webinar: Why Ending Food Waste Should Be On the COP30 Agenda
Ahead of COP30, learn about the latest work happening around the world to mitigate against the enormous impact of food loss and waste on climate change.
The link between food systems and climate change has never been clearer: to avoid the worst climate scenarios and ensure everyone is nourished, we must transform how food is produced, distributed and consumed. Recognition of food loss and waste (FLW) as a climate challenge has grown over recent COPs, but at COP30, the world needs stronger commitments and concrete action to reduce it.
GFN is driving climate action in three ways:
The Challenges
The Opportunities
Ahead of COP30, learn about the latest work happening around the world to mitigate against the enormous impact of food loss and waste on climate change.
On Wednesday, November 12th at the Action on Food Hub, join us for a series of conversations dedicated to bringing attention to food loss and waste (FLW) and climate change, with special attention being paid to strategies, idea-sharing, and solutions.
Wednesday, 12 November, 9:30-10:30 a.m. Brasilia
This session will explore where we are seeing progress on the food loss and waste agenda at the international, national and subnational levels. It will include reflections on which countries are taking a lead role, including in their NDCs and national plans. Specifically, it will look at what needs to be done to accelerate action. How can we mobilize more financial support? What is the intersection of government action and the private sector? And, what are the opportunities beyond COP30 to make progress?
Speakers
Wednesday, 12 November, 10:45-11:45 a.m. Brasilia
This session will highlight 3-5 solutions that are already happening, drawing in representatives from different sectors, followed by a discussion around keys to progress (e.g., partnerships, funding and political support). Where are we seeing progress and real-world solutions on the food loss and waste agenda? What are the keys to moving these solutions forward? And, what more is needed to accelerate action?
Speakers
Wednesday, 12 November — 12:00-1:00 p.m. Brasilia
This session will be a hands-on working session, targeted largely to practitioners about how to turn ideas around food loss and waste (FLW) into real-world action. We will have presenters from different sectors highlight where we are seeing advances in FLW and “how” to do it, followed by breakout tables in 3-5 areas so people can workshop issues as they gain a deeper understanding of the issues.
Facilitator: Dana Gunders, President, ReFED

Around the world, solutions to reduce food loss and waste are already in action — and with more support from governments, businesses and NGO partners they can do so much more.
En 2023, a través de una importante inversión del Global Methane Hub, GFN comenzó a construir una metodología para cuantificar y rastrear, en tiempo real, las emisiones de metano evitadas mediante la recuperación de alimentos por parte de los bancos de alimentos.
Las leyes confusas y las lagunas en los marcos legales pueden inhibir la recuperación de alimentos. Explore nuestra investigación, recomendaciones y mejores prácticas sobre políticas de donación de alimentos a través del Atlas interactivo de políticas globales de donación de alimentos.
Los bancos de alimentos virtuales permiten a las empresas con excedentes de alimentos proporcionarlos rápidamente directamente a las personas que enfrentan hambre o a las agencias comunitarias que distribuyen alimentos.
