Financing a sustainable and just food system transition:
How leading financial institutions and value chain actors set concrete targets & take action
The Just Rural Transition (JRT) and the Good Food Finance Network (GFFN) will hold a joint event at COP27, highlighting the role of public and private financial institutions in raising the level of ambition in finance for sustainable and equitable food systems and discussing how finance, farmers, businesses, and policymakers can best work together to meet sustainability goals.
Through a moderated panel, members of GFFN’s High Ambition Group will present specific and time-bound targets across material impact areas and geographies, laying the ground for a discussion with farmers and community representatives on implementation and demonstrated action. Stakeholders from the audience are invited to engage with panelists to explore how the announced actions can most effectively drive a just rural transition.
