Asia-Pacific Regional Workshop on Scaling Climate Solutions in Agrifood Systems: Climate-Smart Technologies, Carbon Market Pathways and COP30 Preparation

Agrifood systems in Asia-Pacific are increasingly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change,
facing risks from floods, droughts, and shifting weather patterns, while also contributing to
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. At the same time, the sector offers enormous potential for
adaptation and mitigation through climate-smart practices, innovative financing, and
strengthened policies. This workshop is convened to build on regional momentum, strengthen
readiness for carbon markets under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement, and prepare for
meaningful engagement at the 30th Conference of the Parties (COP30), where resilience
and finance options for agrifood systems will be central to the agenda.
