Transitions to sustainable food systems require many changes. Integrated solutions are needed to respond to multiple challenges. Urbanization plays an important role in this transition, as cities consume 70% of all food while contributing to GHGs, food waste and environmental degradation. This event aims at sharing success stories on how cities, subnational and national governments can join forces to deliver interconnected solutions for healthy diets, food losses and waste and resilience against shocks and stresses. The event will also be an opportunity to promote innovative multi-stakeholder and multi-level food systems governance.

The Coalition of Action on Healthy Diets from Sustainable Food Systems for Children and All (HDSFS) joins several other stakeholders, including the the United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat), the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), to support the organization of this UNFSS+2 side event. The Coalition on Sustainable and Inclusive Urban Food Systems, Local2030 Coalition and Politecnico di Milano are leading the side event.
