10 years of CityFood: Making urban food systems deliver for people, landscapes and climate

How can cities foster a just and equitable transition towards sustainable and resilient food systems? Celebrating the 10-year anniversary of ICLEI’s CityFood Program, this event will welcome city representatives from Europe, Africa, and Latin America to discuss the various levers cities can pull to transform their food system and drive climate action from the bottom up. It will take stock of progress made in the past 10 years and discuss priorities for Healthy People, Healthy Landscapes, and a Healthy Climate (CityFood’s triple H approach) by 2030.

This event will be held in English.
