Development & Climate (D&C) Days (Food Systems)

Development & Climate Days is an annual gathering that links the issues of climate change and development, and promotes dialogue, information sharing and informal discussion alongside United Nations climate change talks.

The Development & Climate (D&C) Days event is held each year in the middle weekend of the Conference of the Parties (COP) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).

The UNFCCC binds almost 200 countries to tackle climate change. The COP is the supreme decision-making body of the convention, and all parties meet each year to review progress.

Amid these formal negotiations, D&C Days provides an informal space for policymakers, scientists and development practitioners to come together to explore common concerns and discuss strategic action.
