High-Level Champions' Newsletter
Special Edition for COP 27
- Adaptation and Agriculture Day -
Key Announcements
The COP27 Presidency launches the Food and
Agriculture for Sustainable Transformation (FAST), to improve the quantity
and quality of climate finance contributions to transform agriculture and
food systems by 2030, supporting adaptation and maintaining a 1.5-degree
pathway whilst supporting food and economic security. This multi-stakeholder
cooperation programme will have concrete deliverables for enhancing country
capacities to access climate finance and investment, increase knowledge, and
provide policy support and dialogue.
The Agriculture Innovation Mission for
Climate (AIM for Climate) has announced an increased investment of more than
USD 8 billion, up from USD 4 billion at COP26 with the support of over 275
government and non-government partners. AIM for Climate is a global
initiative by the United Arab Emirates and the United States. The increased
investment is comprised of over USD 7 billion from Government Partners with
contributions from Australia, Bangladesh, Canada, Denmark, the European
Commission, Finland, Hungary, Ireland, Israel, Japan, Lithuania, New
Zealand, the Republic of Korea, Romania, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Ukraine,
United States, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, Uruguay, Vietnam, and
over USD 1 billion investment from 30 Innovation Sprints.
The African Food Systems Transformation
Initiative (AFSTI) and 70 African-owned agri-busineses announce an action
plan for directing financial flows to food supply chains in Africa. It will
draw finance, philanthropy, multilateral development banks, and private
sources, targeting much overlooked agri-businesses and food processors who
are pivotal to transforming the food outlook in Africa.
The Rockefeller Foundation has announced USD
11 million in grants to ten organizations scaling indigenous and
regenerative agriculture practices around the world, with Regen10 as a
flagship initiative. Evidence makes clear the central role food systems can
play in mitigating climate change. The funding will help scale the
development, data analysis, financing, and education around regenerative
agricultural practices, which can improve global food systems and mitigate
the global food crisis.

In Case You Missed It ...
ISO Net Zero Guidelines Launched
The ISO Net Zero Guidelines launched on 11
November provides a common reference for collective efforts, offering a
global basis for harmonizing, understanding, and planning for net zero for
actors at the state, regional, city and organizational level.
The Breakthrough Agenda: a master plan to
accelerate decarbonization of five major sectors
Priority actions, part of the Breakthrough
Agenda, were announced on Friday as part of an international effort to make
clean technologies and sustainable solutions the most affordable, accessible
and attractive option in each emitting sector globally before the end of
this decade.
Almost half of the pharma and biotech sector
has joined the Race to Zero. Here’s why it must go further
A new report released at COP27 this week
showed 46% of the sector by revenue has committed to the Race to Zero, up
from 31% at this time last year. The industry is also beginning to move in
the right direction on carbon intensity, with some of the largest companies
demonstrating leadership in emissions reduction.
Launch of the Breakthrough Agenda hub
Find out in our landing page why the
Breakthrough Agenda matters so much. Achieving Breakthroughs in these five
critical sectors could:
● Support the creation of more than 20
million jobs by 2030.
● Increase world GDP by 4% greater in
2030 than it would otherwise have been.
● Save two million lives worldwide
every year, by halving premature deaths associated with air pollution by
2050 compared to 2020.
Carbon Removals 2030 Breakthrough: Scaling a
diverse, responsible carbon dioxide removal ecosystem that benefits
communities to reach net zero by 2050
Find out why we need to increase our global
carbon dioxide removal capacity from several million today to the multi
gigatonne scale by 2030.
Pharmaceutical 2030 Breakthrough:
Transforming the Pharmaceutical and Medical Technology Sector
Did you know that pharmaceutical labs use up
to 10x more energy and 4x more water than office spaces? There is also an
estimated 12 billion pounds of plastic waste produced each year from
laboratories around the world, which represents 2% of global plastic waste.
Find out why labs are the heart of Pharma & Med Tech’s 2030 Breakthrough.
Global cement sector 2030 Breakthrough:
Towards a net zero hard to abate sector
The global cement sector accounts for around
7% of global CO2 emissions. The industry has made progress during the last
two decades to lower carbon intensity – but there is a recognition that
these efforts need to be significantly accelerated.
