Encouraging to see the new UK International Development White Paper prioritise poverty reduction.
@DannyConcernUK rightly emphasises the need to translate momentum into action. We look forward to being part of this new approach with @FCDOGovUK.
Great to hear that resilient food systems and #sustainableagriculture will be at the heart of #COP28 - it is essential that the voices of affected communities are at the forefront of these discussions #GFSS23
