Public sector managers and representatives of international organisations and civil society organisations working in South-South cooperation are invited to register for the course ‘International mobilisation for convergence between the food systems and climate agendas’.
Information about the course is also being shared at the Brazil Pavilion at COP31 in Antalya, Turkey, as part of the presentation of the Brazilian government’s actions on this agenda.
Scheduled for the first half of 2027, the training programme was developed by the Centre of Excellence in partnership with the Josué de Castro Chair in Healthy and Sustainable Food Systems at the Faculty of Public Health, University of São Paulo (FSP/USP).
The aim is to bring together participants from countries in the Global South to exchange experiences on how to align food and nutritional security policies with actions to tackle climate change.
There will be six live online sessions, with lessons in Portuguese and simultaneous interpretation into English and Spanish. Participation is by invitation only, and you can apply to take part via the expression of interest form.
This training programme is the third in the ‘Food Systems and Climate Agenda’ initiative, which forms part of the inovaSAN South-South cooperation project, carried out in partnership with the Ministry of Development and Social Assistance, Family and Combating Hunger (MDS), the Brazilian Cooperation Agency of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (ABC/MRE) and the World Food Programme’s (WFP) Centre of Excellence against Hunger in Brazil.
In total, three courses have been developed in partnership with the Josué de Castro Chair, and you can access them here.
The courses also form part of the actions under the Plan to Accelerate Solutions (PAS/COACT), which aims to bring together climate action and food system transformation policies, within the framework of the COP30 Action Agenda, held in Belém, Brazil.
