Our Mission

The Food & Climate Action Group is an independent coalition of 25+ international NGOs advocating for food systems transformation within the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). Our mission is to promote and support lasting, systemic change in food consumption and production at global and national levels in order to reduce our reliance on animal-centric food systems as a pathway to stay within the Paris Agreement targets. We advocate for a shift towards more plant-rich, healthy, and affordable diets and sustainable, resilient, equitable and inclusive agricultural practices that benefit small-scale farmers/food producers and local communities.

To achieve this, the Action Group engages with UNFCCC bodies and associated agencies, Parties and Non-Party Stakeholders, to influence policy instruments, principles, and negotiations made under the auspices of the UNFCCC. We explore opportunities to engage in initiatives and processes outside of this framework when they advance our UNFCCC advocacy efforts.
