A platform for progress and accountability

With just five years remaining until the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development horizon line, the UNFSS+4 will provide an opportunity to document progress, strengthen accountability, and unlock investments for transformative action. The event will spotlight successful country-level transformations, highlight innovative practices, and address challenges faced in fragile and conflict-affected settings, and be part of broader efforts to shape a coherent global narrative on sustainable development and accelerate synergies between key SDG transitions.

Draft concept note: Shaping the path to UNFSS+4

The draft concept note outlines the objectives of the UNFSS+4, emphasizing:

1. Reflecting on progress: Reflecting on achievements and identifying lessons learned, while analyzing the factors that have enabled success in various contexts. This will provide a foundation for understanding gaps and scaling transformative solutions.
2. Strengthening accountability: Engaging state and non-state actors in mutual accountability mechanisms to assess commitments, track progress, and identify missing elements, fostering an inclusive environment where all stakeholders can contribute meaningfully to food systems transformation.
3. Unlocking investments: Exploring opportunities for financing innovations and scaling solutions, with a focus on creating enabling environments, leveraging public-private partnerships, and mobilizing climate and development finance to support transformative actions at scale.
