This report details a policy dialogue workshop organized by the Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI) in autumn 2019. The workshop focused on developing a vision for a sustainable bioeconomy in the Öresund region by 2050, using the Foodhills platform in Bjuv, Sweden, as a concrete example of circular food production systems.

A statement addressed to the G20 Agriculture Ministers on 21 April 2020, arguing that COVID-19 responses must go beyond maintaining food supply chains to address the systemic vulnerability of food producers and the environmental degradation caused by the current global food system.

A statement addressed to the G20 Extraordinary Meeting of Ministers of Agriculture on April 21, 2020, arguing that COVID-19 responses must protect human rights, curb financial speculation on food, and transition toward a sustainable, resilient food system based on food sovereignty.

A statement addressed to the G20 agriculture ministers on April 21, 2020, arguing that COVID-19 response measures must protect human rights, prevent financial speculation in food markets, and transition toward a sustainable, local food system to avoid future crises.

This outcome document summarizes the findings of the Marrakech Partnership Global Climate Action-MPGCA Agrifood Roundtable held on 5 December 2019 during UNFCCC COP 25. The document argues that radical transformation of the agri-food system is a priority climate solution, noting that the sector has the potential to sequester at least 30% of greenhouse gases (GHG).

The Carbon Neutral Digestive Initiative (CANDI) is a project by the Stockholm Environment Institute aimed at reducing the carbon footprint of food consumption in Sweden. The report details the findings of Stage 1 (April to December 2019), which focused on understanding consumer preferences, reviewing existing digital footprint applications, and engaging with food industry stakeholders to develop a concept for providing digestible environmental impact information at the point of purchase.

The 'Building a Resilient Future Outcome Document' records the proceedings of a one-day event held on 22 September 2019 in New York City, convened by the Global Resilience Partnership. The event brought together over 500 practitioners to identify actions and partnerships to accelerate climate adaptation and resilience, specifically responding to the UN Climate Action Summit's Call for Action. The document outlines high-level messages, specific commitments from seven thematic action sessions, and a roadmap for building a global movement to protect vulnerable communities from climate-related shocks.

The Bellagio Statement, published in March 2019 by the Global Resilience Partnership (GRP), outlines a strategic framework for transforming food systems in vulnerable and fragile regions. It identifies three critical action areas—halting land degradation, promoting diverse food landscapes, and linking food system resilience to regional stability—to address rising global food insecurity and meet climate mitigation targets.

This report by the Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI) calculates the consumption-based climate footprint of residents in Umeå municipality based on a 2018 survey. It identifies key emission 'hotspots' and provides recommendations for local policy interventions to align with the goal of reducing emissions to approximately one ton of CO2e per person by 2050.

This executive summary from Friends of the Earth International argues for a paradigm shift in agri-food systems, advocating for agroecology as a holistic, multidisciplinary innovation approach. It proposes a 13-criteria framework to evaluate sustainable innovations and provides policy recommendations to mainstream agroecology while opposing industrial agricultural models and 'false solutions' like climate-smart agriculture.

This report by WWF South Africa examines the health challenges associated with unhealthy diets and food insecurity in South Africa. It explores the potential for collaborative industry initiatives between food manufacturers, retailers, government, and NGOs to address the 'triple burden of malnutrition' and the environmental impacts of industrial agriculture.

A statement by Friends of the Earth International arguing that the planetary crisis, including climate change and biodiversity loss, cannot be solved within the current capitalist economic system and instead requires a fundamental "system change" based on people's sovereignty and justice.

This policy brief examines the relationship between global food demand, meat production, and the opportunity costs associated with deforestation, specifically questioning whether REDD+ can compete with the profitability of land use for livestock and grain.

The CRiSTAL Food Security 2.0 User’s Manual describes a decision-support tool designed for local government staff and development practitioners to assess and strengthen the climate resilience of community-level food systems. The tool uses a conceptual 'spinwheel' framework to analyze five dimensions of food security—utilization, access, availability, supporting resources, and supporting organizations—and guides users through a process of risk screening, resilience analysis, and the selection of SMART indicators to monitor progress over time.

The FIPAT Guidebook describes the Food Security Indicator & Policy Analysis Tool, a Microsoft Excel-based framework designed for national and sub-national government decision-makers to identify climate vulnerabilities in food systems, establish resilience indicators, and assess the capacity of public policies to support these goals.

This research paper evaluates the Ecological Footprint of various diets and food production methods, specifically comparing average UK consumption with nutritionally recommended diets. Using the REAP software tool and input-output analysis, the study finds that shifting toward healthy, plant-based, local, and organic diets can significantly reduce environmental pressure while improving public health outcomes.

This 2004 briefing from the Rocky Mountain Institute (RMI) provides guidance on reducing the energy and environmental impacts of kitchen appliances and food consumption. It details the efficiency gains in refrigerators and freezers, compares various cooking technologies and habits, and addresses the reduction of food-related waste in landfills.

The 'Common Position of Latin America and the Caribbean on Climate Change and Health' is a report by the Global Climate and Health Alliance and various regional signatories. It outlines the specific vulnerabilities of the Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) region to the climate crisis, emphasizing the intersection of environmental degradation, extreme poverty, and health inequities. The document proposes a framework of six key pillars—protecting health, mitigation with health benefits, climate justice, adaptation, leadership/governance, and financing—to guide regional governments and the international community toward a health-centered climate response, particularly in preparation for COP30 in Belém do Pará, Brazil.
