Food systems form complex webs of food production, supply, and value chain activities that play an integral part for food security and livelihoods of people across the globe. Youth are a key stakeholder group who rely upon the sustainability and stability of food systems for their health, wellbeing, nutrition, development, and livelihoods while also having the potential to engage and facilitate food system transformation. Youth have the power to change consumption and production patterns in a positive or negative direction. Therefore, youth engagement to find a way forward to build resilient food systems is paramount to ensure the health and well-being of the planet and of generations to come.

Bangladesh, Nepal, and Sri Lanka have submitted their NDCs with different sectors covering mitigation, adaptation, and loss and damage.
