[FAO Deputy Director-General Godfrey Magwenzi @FAODDGMagwenzi]

Honored to lead @FAO delegation at #GEFAssembly2026.
Sustainable agrifood systems are key to climate resilience, biodiversity protection & food security.
As #GEF9 begins, it's time to scale solutions that deliver all three.

@FAOClimate
@theGEF

[Food and Agriculture Organization @FAO]

When agrifood systems are sustainable, they do much more than feed the world.

@FAO & @theGEF have partnered with over 140 countries to make this a reality by financing agrifood systems solutions for climate, biodiversity, land, water, oceans, forests & more.

🌱At today's Roundtable at the #GEFAssembly2026, @FAO’s @KavehZahedi2030 discussed how to translate ambition into action through agriculture and food systems.

"How do we know when the @IFAD-@FAO led #FoodSystemsIP is bringing about needed change?"

🌍 Nature is sending clear signals.

For the 1.23 billion people who depend on agrifood systems, understanding those signals is essential.

@FAO is helping bring climate information to farmers, turning weather data into practical advice.

At #GEFAssembly2026 @FAO's @KavehZahedi2030 leads a discussion:

'Making finance deliver: execution, evidence & enduring'

"It's not about impact on paper. Agrifood solutions are about impact lasting in ways that will help agricultural communities 5 years after a project closes"

At #GEFAssembly2026 @FAO’s @KavehZahedi2030 presents the Central Asia Water & Land Nexus (CAWLN) Program:

⬆️1 Bil. hectares of land with better practices
🌳Millions of tons of carbon emissions avoided
🌾1/2 million people benefiting from improved management of natural resources

[FAO Climate Change & Biodiversity @FAOclimate]

"We are delighted to support the region accelerate into the implementation of the Central Asia Water & Land Nexus with Kazakhstan 🇰🇿; Kyrgyz Republic 🇰🇬; Tajikistan 🇹🇯; Turkmenistan 🇹🇲; Uzbekistan 🇺🇿"
