Today marks the opening of the 64th session of the UNFCCC Subsidiary Bodies (SB64) in Bonn, Germany — and the Alliance for Food Sovereignty in Africa (AFSA) is releasing a landmark policy brief that positions agroecology as an indispensable pathway for climate action across the African continent.

Africa contributes the least to global greenhouse gas emissions, yet bears among the heaviest climate burdens. Yields of staple crops such as maize, millet, and sorghum could decline by 30% in several African countries by 2050.

The climate crisis is estimated to cost African economies up to 5% of GDP annually. And developing countries will need between USD 215–387 billion per year for adaptation by 2030 — far beyond current finance flows.

Our brief makes the case across three interconnected pillars:

▸ The Sharm el-Sheikh Joint Work (SJWA) — calling for an implementation-oriented framework that places agroecology at the centre of future climate action in agriculture and food systems

▸ Just Transitions — arguing that agriculture and food systems must be central to the Just Transition Work Programme, with agroecology as the pathway that places people, not commodities, at the centre of transformation

▸ Adaptation & the Belem–Addis Vision — calling for greater recognition of agroecology as a key adaptation pathway, with equitable access to finance for small-scale food producers, women, youth, pastoralists, and indigenous peoples

"Delays in operationalizing implementation mechanisms directly translate into worsening vulnerability for millions of small-scale food producers already facing escalating climate shocks."

We urge Parties at SB64 to move from dialogue to action — and to ensure that the voices and knowledge of frontline communities drive that action.

Like many other organizations, the #UNFCCC secretariat is present at X/Twitter, but not on Mastodon and Bluesky (please correct me if I'm wrong).

Imho, that should change.

UN Climate Negotiations: countries failed to agree on timeline for next IPCC climate science report.

Frustrating and disappointing is right
