Shifting consumption and reducing food loss and waste are crucial for climate and affordable, healthy, sustainable food. In 2022, almost 735 million people suffered from hunger, 3 billion couldn’t
afford healthy diets, and a third of global food production was lost or wasted, costing trillions.

This event aims to engage stakeholders with actionable solutions for more sustainable consumption patterns, promoting healthier food choices, and reducing food loss and waste. It will also emphasize outcomes, future policies, and investments in healthy, affordable, and sustainable consumption by improving food environments, enhancing demand for healthier food, exploring alternative proteins, and reducing food loss and waste across urban-rural areas.

This event is organized by the COP28 Presidency, FOLU, EAT, Consumers International, Madre Brava, Consumers Goods Forum, WRAP, Champions 12.3, Global Food Banking Network.
