Food insecurity, climate change and violent conflict are trends currently on the rise, risking progress towards the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals. There is a well-known link and a vicious cycle between food insecurity and conflict, which is exacerbated by climate change. Global efforts and solely top-down initiatives have been failing to address these triple challenges, and there is a growing number of calls for increased local action. Thus, there is a need for better understanding of the role of local initiatives and organizations in contributing to wider systemic change and how they can be combined, or enabled by, global efforts and stakeholders operating at different scales. In this session we will have an honest dialogue among actors working from different perspectives on what is needed to foster positive cross-scale interactions and relationships that enable local action for more sustainable and just food systems that are also conflict and climate resilient.
