Last week, we wrapped up our final session at Bangkok Climate Action Week: 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐐𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐀𝐬𝐢𝐚! 🔥 In partnership with Thailand Environment Institute Foundation, Clean Air Fund, Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH, Asian Farmers' Association for Sustainable Rural Development (AFA) and Climate & Clean Air Coalition to discuss why crop residue burning persists across Asia and how we can fix it. The reality? Farmers burn residue because alternatives often cost too much and take too long. To stop the burn, we need solutions that match burning on speed, cost, and scale without burdening smallholders. 🎥 Watch the video to hear insights from our organizing partners Dr Dhanush Dinesh, Shirish Sinha, 𝐃𝐫. 𝐖𝐢𝐣𝐚𝐫𝐧 𝐒𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐲𝐚, and Fu Lu. Thank you to all partners and participants for making this vital conversation happen! 🙏 #CleanAir #TheBurningQuestion #RiceResidue #SustainableAg #BangkokClimateActionWeek

What’s on the menu at Bangkok Climate Action Week? 🍚✨ Dr Dhanush Dinesh share a quick dish of key takeaways from yesterday's 𝐏𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐑𝐢𝐜𝐞 session, hosted during Rice Day at #BCAW2026! Clim-Eat partnered with the Asian Farmers' Association for Sustainable Rural Development (AFA) to dive into the complex politics surrounding rice production in Asia. The main course from our discussion? Tackling this challenge has many layers. While most agreed on the urgent need to repurpose public support and address political economy dynamics, moving from agreement to action requires key ingredients: 1️⃣ Financial mechanisms to enable a just transition 2️⃣ Farmer engagement models that shift real power to farmers 3️⃣ Cross-sector coalitions that pool resources and expertise across boundaries A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for this critical conversation! 🎥 Missed it or want to catch the highlights?

A huge congratulations to the Chair of our 𝐻𝑖𝑔ℎ-𝐿𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑙 𝑃𝑎𝑛𝑒𝑙 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑎 𝐽𝑢𝑠𝑡 𝑅𝑢𝑟𝑎𝑙 𝑇𝑟𝑎𝑛𝑠𝑖𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛, President Carlos Alvarado Quesada, on being elected as the new 𝐒𝐞𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐲-𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐕𝐮𝐥𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐮𝐦 (𝐂𝐕𝐅-𝐕𝟐𝟎)! 👏 While walking through the bustling streets of Times Square in New York, Dr Dhanush Dinesh had a quick interview with President Carlos Alvarado Quesada to celebrate this milestone and understand opportunities to connect with efforts of the High-Level Panel. This appointment marks an exciting alignment between global climate vulnerability priorities and sustainable food systems. As CVF-V20 leads the charge in advocating for climate finance and adaptation across 77 vulnerable countries, linking those efforts with public agricultural support and rural resilience is more critical than ever. President Alvarado will continue his leadership as Chair of the High-Level Panel for a Just Rural Transition, creating a powerful bridge between climate diplomacy and practical, farmer-centered policy reform. We are truly looking forward to the impactful work ahead! ✨ 🎥 Watch the full interview video to hear his vision for these intersecting priorities! 📰 Read the full news announcement here: https://lnkd.in/g7Kv8sjv #HighLevelPanel #JustTransition #CVFV20 #ClimateAction #NYClimateWeek #ClimateFinance #FoodSystems
