Transitions to sustainable food systems  require many changes. Integrated solutions  are needed to respond to multiple  challenges. Urbanization plays an important  role in this transition, as cities consume 70%  of all food while contributing to greenhouse  gases, food waste, and environmental  degradation.

This event aims at sharing success stories on  how cities, subnational and national governments can join forces to deliver  interconnected solutions for a healthy diet,  food losses, waste, and resilience against shocks and stresses. It will also be an  opportunity to promote innovative, multi stakeholder and multi-level food systems  governance.

The event is part of the UN Food Systems Summit +2 Stocktaking Moment.
