At the 26th United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26), the U.S. and the United Arab Emirates officially launched the Agriculture Innovation Mission for Climate (AIM for Climate) alongside 31 countries and over 48 non-government partners.
AIM for Climate’s objectives are to increase investment in agricultural innovation for climate-smart agriculture and food systems over the next five years with scientific research and public/private partnerships. The goal is to sustainably increase agricultural productivity and incomes while adapting and building resilience to climate change and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
President Joe Biden announced a $1 billion investment—on top of the $4 billion from other sources—in climate-smart agriculture and food systems.
