2022 Global Food Policy Report: Climate Change & Food Systems

Global Launch Event

May 12, 2022

  • 9:30 – 11:00 am (America/New_York)
  • 3:30 – 5:00 pm (Europe/Amsterdam)
  • 7:00 – 8:30 pm (Asia/Kolkata)


The 2022 Global Food Policy Report, IFPRI’s flagship report, highlights the urgency of accelerating innovation, reforming policies, resetting market incentives, and increasing financing for sustainable food systems transformation. It sets forth a broad range of policy options for accelerated action by policymakers as well as international forums for policy and investment decision-making. 

Eleven thematic chapters look at how policies can support the development and adoption of “disruptive” technologies by creating an enabling environment for climate change–related financing, innovation uptake, and integrated governance of natural resources. The chapters also examine the impacts of climate change and related policies on the most vulnerable, considering how to promote healthy, sustainable diets and increase benefits for all from food systems.  Six regional chapters discuss the diverse impacts of climate change in different parts of the world and identify potential responses that can be taken up in the short and medium term in national and regional food systems.

Join us at the global virtual launch event where speakers will highlight key findings in the 2022 report.
