Bangkok and Hanoi | 10 October 2025: In a dynamic week for the Asia-Pacific region, the UN Food Systems Coordination Hub engaged in two high-level regional workshops aimed at accelerating integrated action across biodiversity, climate, and agrifood systems agendas – laying the groundwork for collective regional messaging toward COP30. 

In New York this week, government leaders, development partners, and innovators gathered at the Joint Meeting of the UN General Assembly’s Second Committee and ECOSOC, focused on "Reimagining Public–Investor Partnerships: Systems Finance for Inclusive Sustainability Transformations“.

At the Africa Food Systems Forum 2025, leaders advance UNFSS+4 momentum, tackling hunger, climate shocks, and financing gaps across the continent.

Alumni of the Hub's Youth Leadership Programme reflect on UNFSS+4 and the Youth Declaration’s vision for meaningful youth leadership.

Four years since the UN Food Systems Summit launched a global movement to transform the world’s food systems—to make them more efficient, inclusive, resilient and sustainable in support of the 2030 Agenda—the Independent Stakeholders’ Report for UNFSS+4 delivers a clear message: progress is underway, but food systems transformation must become more inclusive, better aligned with global commitments, and grounded in rights-based, accountable governance.

Philip Lymbery, Global Chief Executive Officer at Compassion in World Farming and Board Member of the UN Food Systems Advisory Board, emphasises why the forthcoming UN Food Systems Summit + 4 Stocktake (UNFSS+4) signals a turning point for business leadership.
