<p>As COP26 Presidency, we are calling for global ambition and action to reduce emissions
across all sectors, in order to meet net zero by 2050 – including in agriculture,
forestry and other land use, which is collectively responsible for 23% of global emissions.</p><p>We
have already seized the opportunities of our G7 and COP26 Presidencies to drive international
action and commitments on sustainable agriculture. The G7 Leaders’ Summit was a critical
point as we work towards COP26. The G7 leaders committed to achieve net zero no later
than 2050, with deep emissions reduction targets in the 2020s – consistent with keeping
1.5 degrees within reach. The G7 Leaders also acknowledged the harmful effects of
some subsidies on the environment and the need to reform policies with recognised
impacts on nature – and committed to work to accelerate an inclusive global transition
to sustainable and climate resilient agriculture.</p><p>Together with the World Bank,
we are co-hosting an international Policy Dialogue on the ‘Transition to Sustainable
Agriculture through redirecting public policies and support and scaling innovation’.
Through the Dialogue, we are developing a Policy Action Agenda on the transition to
sustainable agriculture.</p>
