The Methane Factor: The Role of Food Loss and Waste in Cutting Emissions Anchor Partner: The Global Methane Hub

This session, designed in collaboration with the Global Methane Hub, explored how new methodologies can help to better understand and measure the efficacy of food loss and waste interventions to reduce methane emissions, such as food recovery and redistribution. Further, the session highlighted how the development of more robust data can inform countries’ climate strategies, and support the inclusion of proven interventions within Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), more private sector action, and the development of financial mechanisms to incentivise increased investment in FLW interventions, including through food banking.
