Impacts of Global Tipping Points on the Agricultural Sector

The Agriculture sector is massively vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. As a key topic in the COP28 discussions this year, the global threat to livelihoods, food security and health is not unknown. However, little discussed are the impacts of global tipping points on our crops, their capacity to grow, and potential for their total failure. 

During our Agriculture event at the SDG Tent, Arctic Basecamp’s Professor Gail Whiteman lead a panel discussion of field-leaders on the various threats, impacts and future available strategies which industry leaders are being confronted with. This session offers invaluable insights from the latest research projections, urging businesses to make science-based decisions for the future. 

Speakers: Professor Gail Whiteman, Professor Julienne Stroeve, Simon Van Wyk, Emeline Fellus, Stuart Brocklehurst, David Saddington FRGS, Tessa Varvares, Billy Cavanagh
