Women are the backbone of India’s agrifood systems: sowing, livestock, biodiversity, and household nutrition. Their contributions sustain rural economies and strengthen food security. FAO, collaborating with the Government of India, supports gender-responsive approaches, enhancing women’s access to resources, climate-resilient practices, digital innovation, and leadership opportunities.

For the International Year of the Woman Farmer 2026, FAO reaffirms its commitment to empowering women farmers, entrepreneurs, and change-makers. This fosters resilient agrifood systems and a more sustainable, food-secure India. Learn more about FAO's work in India.

On April 8, 2024, CLG Europe’s Materials and Products Taskforce hosted a WCEF Side Event webinar: "How the new EU institutions can kickstart the Circular Economy." Ahead of European elections, experts discussed the circular economy's political role. A recent ESABCC report highlights minimal EU progress in circular material use, increasing from 10.8% (2010) to 11.7% (2021).

To meet the EU's 2030 goal of doubling this rate, a tenfold increase in current annual progress requires more recycling and less material demand. The Taskforce, established in 2021 to drive policy, will release a report later this year. It will set the EU's circular economy policy agenda for the next five years, recommending actions to accelerate the shift to climate-neutral materials.

Over 100 UK business and finance leaders, including CEOs from Amazon, Coca-Cola, and IKEA, have urged Prime Minister Liz Truss to strengthen the economy by prioritizing climate and nature crises. Amid inflation and recession warnings, they advocate for building economic resilience through net-zero delivery and nature restoration.

A letter from 116 institutions emphasizes urgent government plans to accelerate the energy transition. This could significantly reduce household energy bills, improve energy security, and shield the UK from volatile fossil fuel prices. Restoring nature is also crucial for resilience and economic support.
