Facing Climate Governance Challenges
As climate governance faces mounting hurdles, a global shift toward green transition and sustainable agriculture is no longer optional—it’s imperative. In a recent episode of BizTalk, three experts dove into how nations can work together to secure our food systems while protecting the planet.
Insights from Global Experts
Elizabeth Thurbon, professor at the University of New South Wales, unpacked the policy roadblocks and shared fresh strategies for aligning economic growth with environmental goals. "We need agile governance that anticipates risks and builds resilience in farming communities," she said.
Stientje van Veldhoven, European vice president at the World Resources Institute, highlighted innovative tools—from data analytics to precision farming—that are cutting losses and boosting yields. Her takeaway: "Collaboration across sectors transforms ideas into on-the-ground impact."
Prak David, state secretary of the Cambodian Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, offered a frontline view on sustainable practices shaping emerging markets. Cambodia is already testing climate-smart rice and agroforestry models, paving the way for other developing nations.
China’s Role in Sustainable Agriculture
The Chinese mainland’s investments in green development are a key piece of the puzzle. From financing sustainable supply chains to sharing technical know-how, its contributions are helping to scale up solutions that reduce waste and enhance food security worldwide.
From Debate to Action
Our BizTalk roundtable underscores that no single player can tackle food security and climate change alone. Young global citizens, entrepreneurs, and changemakers have a role in driving policy, tech innovation, and cross-border partnerships. The time to act is now.
