1) Climate change and food security
Side event organized by FAO and the Danish Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Fisheries.

2) Agriculture and
Rural Development Day
Saturday 12 December
Policies and institutions for resilient development in the face of climate change
Appropriately designed national policies and institutions can enhance adaptation and mitigation responses, reducing adjustment costs for farmers, increasing the profitability of environmentally sustainable practices, stimulating pro-poor investment, generating employment for the rural landless, and creating investment flows for rural communities.
National outcomes are strongly influenced both by developments in other countries and the international institutions and policies that govern interactions among nations. International trade and finance rules, global data gathering and information sharing, and foreign financial and technical assistance can alter vulnerabilities to climate stresses and influence the potential of mitigation efforts.
This Roundtable will explore the set of essential policies and institutions, both nationally and internationally, to create the appropriate incentives to enhance agricultural adaptation and mitigation responses.
