About The Event

The ASEAN region faces the pressing twin challenges of climate change and nutrition insecurity, both of which threaten food systems, livelihoods, and sustainable development. As climate impacts intensify, they exacerbate vulnerabilities in food production, supply chains, and access to healthy diets. Recognizing these risks, ASEAN Member States have committed to strengthening food security and nutrition through regional collaboration and policy integration on food systems.

Building on key commitments such as the ASEAN Leaders’ Declaration on Strengthening Food Security and Nutrition in Response to Crises (Jakarta, September 2023), the ASEAN Climate Resilience Network (ASEAN-CRN), and the ASEAN Integrated Food Security (AIFS) Framework and Strategic Plan for ASEAN Cooperation in Food, Agriculture, and Forestry, this session will explore opportunities to leverage synergies between food security, nutrition, and climate action.

By bringing together policymakers, regional experts, and key stakeholders from agriculture, health, and environmental sectors, this session aims to elevate integrated approaches for resilience-building and position ASEAN’s leadership in sustainable agrifood system transformation.
