Responding to Climate Disruption of Agriculture

This event occurs amidst significant supply disruptions due to climate change, already affecting key commodities such as palm oil,coffee, cocoa, and beef.

These disruptions are expected to increasingly influence market dynamics, severely impacting all stakeholders in the supply chain, including farmers, traders, brands, and retailers. To address these challenges, early investment in targeted company and supply chain resilience strategies is crucial. We will explore how adopting resilient production models at landscape level can help reduce supply and business risks.

Speakers include:

Emily Kunen, Senior Director, Agriculture and Forests, PepsiCo

Kevin Rabinovitch, Chief Climate Officer, Mars

Wanjira Mathai, Africa Director, WRI

Daan Wensing, CEO, IDH

Moderator: Anna Bressanin, Senior Editor, BBC

At the breakfast event, alongside you and 50 peers from business and finance, we will share practical examples of landscape-level action for climate resilience and land restoration and how it can support reliable and inclusive production of commodities.

For those not attending Climate Week in person, we will share the option to join online.
