Climate change knows nothing of borders. And the links between climate, sustainable development and human rights are inviolable. Through collaboration we can aspire to meet the needs of addressing climate change and protect vulnerable communities. It follows collaboration is the effective route for equity and justice as well as a tool that can inspire industries to take responsibility to inform better more resilient and sustainably viable governance.

Consequently, such action will optimise freedom to achieve both the goal of environmental sustainability and ameliorate opportunities of economic growth of the least developed countries to protect their vulnerable population. As a result, to promote sustainable and efficient agri-food systems that guarantee a sufficient food supply for the growing global demand is inherent in any long-term sustainably viable policy.
