Today is the deadline for submissions to the @UNFCCC process on agriculture and food security (formerly Koronivia, now abbreviated to the Sharm el-Sheikh Joint Work). I read all 17 submissions so far so that you don't have to🧵 For those unfamiliar with this process, this is our opportunity to influence the topics and discussions covered in meetings of parties under the UNFCCC process (including COPs), so it's kind of a big deal.

I made a presentation this week on malnutrition, climate change, and the challenges facing food systems. Heavy going... but I promise I tried to cover a few solutions and opportunities, too! Here's a🧵with my slides - familiar stuff to many, but I hope useful to some. First, though, thanks and credit to @TyRBeal for the magnificent slides of micronutrient deficiencies. I'll post a couple of other references where they're not visible on slides as we go along.

We often talk in terms of future projections, but here's the thing: climate change is already driving major increases in food insecurity and malnutrition. A short #IPCC report🧵 "Increasing weather and climate extreme events have exposed millions of people to acute food insecurity (food insecurity with a severity that threatens lives, livelihoods or both)."

The reception has been a little mixed, but I'd say that there are encouraging signs of progress for food systems here at #COP27. (1/19) Firstly, there's the prominence of food systems: in the negotiations (through Koronivia), on the official programme, in the official UNFCCC side events, and in the multiple Blue Zone Pavilions. Nutrition, specifically, is playing a major role - spearheaded by @l_haddad (2/19)
