Description
At the UNFSS+2 Stocktaking Moment in 2023, governments and stakeholders showcased their progress in food systems transformation since the summit as per their National Pathways and their Voluntary reporting. This stocktaking process is planned to proceed bi-annually until 2030.In his Call to Action at the end of the UNFSS+2, the Secretary-General identified six areas that need concerted action to prioritise the implementation of future food systems. One of these six areas is “promoting increased engagement of businesses, including through public-private partnerships, to shape the sustainability of food systems and establish and strengthen accountability mechanisms, recognizing their centrality for food systems”.
This session will address
- Efforts to move towards a shared vision and understanding of the key elements of corporate accountability in the context of food systems transformation, including metrics
- Understanding the work of leading organisations on corporate accountability processes related to environment, social equity and nutrition.
- Demonstrating how this works in practice at the country-level
- Sharing the role the UN Global Compact is playing to support the UN System and partners in advance of the UN FSS+4
