    This technical brief summarizes the summary report of the key findings of the International Panel on Climate Change’s Sixth Assessment Report which runs into over 3 000 pages, focusing on the assessment’s conclusions and their effect on agrifood systems. The Assessment Reports of the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) are important as they provide policymakers with state-of-knowledge assessments on climate change, its implications, and potential future risks. These assessments also put forward adaptation and mitigation options.

    The global community has committed to responding to climate change while ensuring decent livelihoods and healthy food for everyone, keeping within planetary boundaries. Transforming agrifood systems is essential to meeting these challenges, with climate response being an intrinsic element. The need for more resilient systems that can sustain increasing demands in a setting of tightening constraints is evident. Resilience must be generated across environmental, social and economic domains, all the while maintaining the economic viability of agrifood systems to ensure that transition occurs in a just and fair manner. Climate technologies are a key enabler to support climate action and the sustainable transition of agrifood systems.The report highlights the needs for robust technology assessments to underpin climate technology identification for agrifood systems transformation that addresses all stages of agrifood value chains. This needs to be supported by capacity-building programmes, targeted financing and fed into the ongoing climate policy process. The capacity-building strategy and efforts are to be tied to the technology assessments, and identify suitable and correct skill sets, especially for smallholders and vulnerable segments of the population.

    Agrifood systems (AFS) require dedicated infrastructure, comprising a combination of public and private physical assets supported by a conducive environment that includes technologies, policies, adequate financing, and effective governance.
    This report aims to shed light on the need for greater and smarter investments in AFS infrastructure, and how they can contribute to global economic, climate and social challenges.
    Building on previous analytical work by development agencies, this report defines AFS infrastructure by providing a strategic review of its ecosystem, as well as an associated conceptual framework, and key economic, environmental, and social performance indicators to assist the decision-making process for private and public investments.
