About this webinar
Join us for the second IPPN Knowledge Café to explore the work of the regional UN Issue-based Coalition on Sustainable Food Systems (IBC-SFS)* to support policy coherence in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and the opportunities and challenges of interagency and multi-sectoral collaborations in delivering integrated policy support to UN Country Teams. We will also review the follow up to the first-ever UN Food Systems Summit (September 2021), which provided a unique opportunity to engage Member States and stakeholders across multiple policy domains to galvanize action and discuss integrated policy issues for food systems transformation in the region.
