Food Supply

Question

If he will hold discussions with his international counterparts on the potential merits of prioritising discussion of food sustainability at COP27.

Answer

Food production and environmental protection are two sides of the same coin. We recognise the impact of climate change on food security if we don’t act now. We have been engaging with our international counterparts on progressing the successes of COP26, including financial commitments and actions to reduce environmental harm, and support livelihoods and food security. Looking towards COP27, we have already engaged with host nation Egypt and others to consider how we progress this.
