The Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research (IAI) is promoting a joint call by the Belmont Forum and the European Commission for a Collaborative Research Action (CRA) focused on the interactions between climate change and food systems. The initiative seeks to develop sustainable and resilient food value chains and assess climate impacts on markets, specifically targeting regional food systems in Latin America and the Caribbean, Africa, and Europe. The CRA aligns with Sustainable Development Goals 2 (Zero Hunger) and 13 (Climate Action), offering funding opportunities, including potential matching funds from the European Commission via the ERANET Cofund mechanism, to support interdisciplinary research on agricultural food, waste residues, and socio-economic vulnerabilities in the Global South.

• The Collaborative Research Action (CRA) focuses on assessing how climate change affects food systems and markets, with the goal of creating sustainable and resilient food value chains. It specifically targets regional food systems in Africa, Europe, and Latin America and the Caribbean to strengthen regional capabilities and address both regional and global processes.
• The initiative is designed to support Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 2, which aims to end hunger and promote sustainable agriculture, while recognizing its critical links to SDG 13 regarding urgent action to combat climate change.
• The European Commission provides financial support through the ERANET Cofund mechanism to facilitate transnational research. For the specific call SFS-31-2019, the Commission dedicated 21 million euros across three topics, with the climate change topic estimated to be in the order of magnitude of 45 million euros.
• In Latin America and the Caribbean, the CRA aims to bridge a gap in previous IAI research, which focused on meteorological aspects and land use change but lacked a direct link to food security. The region's efforts are aligned with the CELAC "Plan on Food Security, Nutrition and Hunger Eradication 2025".
