UAE is committed partner for climate actions

 Tom Vilsack, United States Secretary of Agriculture, has affirmed that the UAE is a firm and committed partner for climate action and is in their very interest to steward climate-smart agriculture and food systems innovation globally.


He added that in the agricultural sector, innovative products and methods have enabled the nation to turn deserts into farms.

Regarding the importance of the COP27 climate conference, Vilsack said, “I’m excited to be in Egypt and participate in COP27 as it gives us an opportunity, as the United States Department of Agriculture, to share US knowledge and experience on the global stage in climate-smart agricultural practices. I believe it is an opportunity for us to work with our Aim for Climate Ministerial (AIM) for Climate co-lead, the UAE, and our growing network of over 275 partners, to spur innovation in climate-smart agriculture and food systems, to sustainably increase agricultural productivity and incomes, promote regenerative and sustainable practices, enable ways in which methane can be reduced, and ways in which we can use fertiliser more efficiently.

He stated that Washington will be hosting the AIM for Climate Summit on 8th-10th May, 2023, convening partners to increase and accelerate investment in and support for climate-smart agriculture and food systems innovation.

Supported by the Foundation for Food & Agriculture Research, this premier global event, exclusively for AIM for Climate partners, will provide a game-changing platform to raise ambition, build collaborations, and share knowledge on innovative solutions in the lead-up to COP28 in the UAE.
