Climate change and conflict

What is climate friendly food? That is the question that me and my fellow students asked when we started to work on a project for one of the agronomy course at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences. The project was about modifying commonly cooked recipes so they have lower carbon footprint.

The seminar "Zero Hunger in a Changing Climate" was arranged by Sida in cooperation with the Swedish International Agriculture Network Initiative (SIANI) and the Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI).  

The SIANI secretariat organised the third SIANI Annual meeting on the 19th of January.

The 2015 Paris Climate Conference, COP21, and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development provided the context for the third Annual SIANI meeting, where the SDGs in particular became the recurring theme in many presentations and discussions.
