Adaptation, Resilience and Mitigation through Agroecology: A Policy Brief for Enhancing Climate Adaptation and Resilience through Agroecology as a Holistic Approach

Global Food and Nutrition Security

As the 62nd session of the UNFCCC Subsidiary Bodies (SB62) opens today in Bonn, the Alliance for Food Sovereignty in Africa (AFSA) officially launches its latest policy brief:

“Adaptation, Resilience and Mitigation through Agroecology – A Policy Brief for Enhancing Climate Adaptation and Resilience through Agroecology as a Holistic Approach.”

This timely brief outlines AFSA’s strategic priorities on:

  • Agriculture under the Sharm El Sheikh Joint Work on the Implementation of Climate Action on Agriculture and Food Security (SSJWA)
  • Adaptation, including the Global Goal on Adaptation (GGA) and National Adaptation Plans (NAPs)
  • Climate finance, including Loss and Damage
  • Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs)

The brief advocates for the full recognition and integration of agroecology as a people-centered solution for climate adaptation, resilience building, and mitigation in Africa.

“Africa’s climate future must be rooted in food systems that serve people and ecosystems, not corporations. Agroecology offers a pathway to rebuild resilience, reduce inequality, and nourish sovereignty,” said Dr. Million Belay, General Coordinator of AFSA.
