Food and agriculture account for one-third of all global emissions but receive less than 5% of climate financing. This panel explores strategic interventions that could close this gap, inspired by industry-led and blended-finance models that have successfully scaled up clean energy and other sectors.

There is no pathway to decarbonization without reimagining food production, which accounts for one-third of all global emissions. This panel highlights how three very different countries—Singapore, China, and Brazil—have each leveraged their unique strengths to collectively accelerate future-proof protein production.

This session features the Integrated Mangrove Aquaculture (IMA) Project, a flagship IAAS initiative that integrates mangrove restoration with aquaculture technology to deliver both climate adaptation and food resilience outcomes. The programme will also explore how regional collaboration and markets can spur agriculture technology adoption and address the impact of climate change on food production.
