🌿At the start of the second week of the UNFCCC , the PAN International Agroecology Working Group presented a series of case studies highlighting how offers robust and innovative solutions to the many climate-related challenges that farmers face today.

The case studies detail the -resilient agroecological solutions that farmers around the world are already using and serve as a resource for decision-makers attending the Climate COP30 and the People’s Summit in Belém, Brazil.

Organized under COP do Povo, the event will present a review of gaps in Asian countries’ climate action plans in relation to agroecology or policies supportive of agroecology. Community and civil society leaders from Bangladesh, Indonesia, and the Philippines will also present the results of their research and documentation of how agroecology is a genuine climate solution.

📢 Be part of the conversation. Be part of the struggle for land, justice, and a livable future.

🌎 is a pivotal moment when world leaders come together and a multitude of voices are heard, including ours!

In order to reduce agrochemical use and greenhouse gas emissions, a healthy agroecosystem must rely on biodiversity and healthy soils. Additionally, the GHG emissions associated with pesticides are often not taken into account, which leads to an underestimation of agricultural GHG emissions.

This new white paper expands upon PAN's history of research into the effects of pesticides on climate change.

🌱Agroecology offers robust, innovative, climate-resilient solutions to the many challenges farmers face today.

The PAN International Agroecology Workgroup has just published a series of case studies detailing climate-resilient agroecological solutions that farmers are already using around the world. We hope these briefs will be resources for decisionmakers who are attending the Climate COP30 and the People’s Summit in Belém, Brazil.

🌱 From October 1–16, join the 16 Days of Global Action on Agroecology and stand with farmers, women, youth, and communities across the Globe to demand a and champion .

This year’s theme “Hand in Hand for Healthy Futures: Empowering Rural Women & Safeguarding Our Children through Agroecology”, links to the global call to secure safe and sustainable food systems with the crucial role of rural women and youth in shaping agroecological solutions. This year’s campaign also underscores the urgent need to phase out hazardous pesticides and replace them with agroecological practices that restore ecosystems, build community resilience, and ensure a healthy, poison-free future for the next generation.

📣 Take Action:
1. Share creative videos of children and communities calling for a through drawings and messages.
2. Organize events (e.g. biking, storytelling, gardening, organic markets) involving children and youngsters to highlight children’s need for a healthy, pesticides-free environment and to promote agroecology.
3. Urge your policymakers to support the phase-out of HHPs and promote their replacement with agroecological alternatives. Mobilise support through petitions and encourage your policymakers to endorse and develop strong policies that advance agroecology. At the same time, PANAP invites your organisation to support and endorse our call for pesticide-free buffer zones of at least 1 km around schools. We encourage you to sign and share our global petition here: https://chng.it/H7KfRDCffY.

👉[Presentation AE Working Group]👈
Agroecology is an economically viable and socially just approach to sustainable agriculture and food systems, grounded in ecological and social justice principles. Agroecology integrates science with local and Indigenous knowledge and practice, emphasising farming in harmony with natural cycles and processes, and a political commitment to food sovereignty.

Through the AE WG, PAN International aims to communicate the principles and science of agroecology to relevant international forums such as the UNFCCC, as well as to international agencies such as the UNEP and the FAO, regional bodies and national governments. Its goal is to support them in adopting robust policies that promote agroecology and making informed public investments, which will collectively drive the transformation of food systems 🤝
