Driving Systemic Change: Policy and Finance for Real Zero Solutions

Recording HERE

In order to make the needed transformation and adaptation to climate changes, transformative solutions and the implementation of effective projects need to be promoted and financed. But all projects and solutions are not the best choices to mitigate or adapt to climate changes. Many solutions focus only one one aspect of the problem (mitigation, off-setting, …) without taking the all spectrum of impacts (on communities, on biodiversity and nature). To implement truly sustainable solutions, we need to go further than only technical and ‘efficiency focus’ solutions.

The event will focus on the agricultural sector and the type of solutions that are promoting.
