The Food and Agriculture Organisation is asking COP31 participants to give food systems a larger role in climate policy, amid concern that weather risks could affect food production, France 24 reported Thursday.
Delegates in Antalya are discussing emissions and climate targets, while humanitarian agencies are drawing attention to growing food insecurity, the report said. It identified farmers, global food supplies and people facing food insecurity among those exposed to climate disruption.
France 24 linked the concern to El Niño's return and the risk of severe weather. The World Meteorological Organization's 2026 outlook projected that the current El Niño could reach record strength by December. EconoTimes previously covered the WMO's El Niño outlook.
COP31 is scheduled to run through Nov. 20 in Antalya, Türkiye.
