Excitement Builds as Draft Programme Unveiled for Second UN Food Systems Summit Stocktake (UNFSS+4) in Addis Ababa
The countdown has begun! The draft programme for the Second UN Food Systems Summit Stocktake (UNFSS+4), scheduled to take place from 27 to 29 July 2025 in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, has been officially released. This high-profile global gathering will bring together world leaders, policymakers, innovators, and grassroots voices from every corner of the globe to assess progress and inspire bold, collective action for sustainable, inclusive, and resilient food systems.
Three Days of Momentum, Dialogue, and Transformation
UNFSS+4 kicks off on 27 July with Action Day, a vibrant launch featuring side events and energized spaces for networking and bilateral meetings, designed to spark collaboration and accelerate partnerships.
Momentum continues with the official Stocktake Meeting on 28–29 July, where a dynamic mix of plenary sessions, ministerial roundtables, high-level panels, investment dialogues, and constituency-led discussions will drive the agenda forward. From the voices of heads of state to youth and Indigenous leaders, every session is crafted to tackle pressing challenges, from food sovereignty and climate-smart agriculture to unlocking innovative finance and strengthening accountability across the food system.
The release of the draft programme marks a key milestone on the road to UNFSS+4—an opportunity not just to reflect, but to rally the world around urgent, coordinated action for people, planet, and prosperity.
