On Thursday, October 20, 2022, The International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI), The International Center for Agriculture Research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA), and CGIAR’s Initiative: National Policies and Strategies (NPS) jointly organized a Pre-COP27 seminar: Accelerated Action for Food Systems Resilience: Egypt’s Plans for Cop27 and The Role Of CGIAR. The virtual seminar was also live-streamed as Borlaug Dialogue side event. This event was inspired by Egypt's Presidency of COP27 and hence the main objective of the event was to highlight Egypt’s priorities for COP27. The event also covered discussions specific to Egypt’s agri-food sector as well as CGIAR’s research portfolio and plans for COP27. The event brought together representatives from Egypt's Presidency of COP27 and several senior leaders and climate scientists from CGIAR.
