Reducing food loss and waste is a climate solution, which countries and communities can employ to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Successfully doing so will require a significant increase in the quality and quantity of accessible climate finance.

The fifth International Day of Awareness of Food Loss and Waste will bring in a specific focus on the critical need for financing to bolster efforts to reduce food loss and waste, contribute to achieving climate goals and advancing the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.  

The IDAFLW will be observed on Friday 27 September 2024, in lieu of 29th September.
