As London Climate Action Week brings together leaders from across Europe and beyond, the urgency of climate action is unmistakable. What matters now is not adding new targets but making choices that have a measurable impact on reducing emissions and building food system resilience.

Food systems are where climate impacts are felt most immediately. When food prices rise, when supply chains falter, when waste increases, the effects reach households, public services and political trust at once. That is precisely why food systems are also where climate policy can deliver visible progress in a sector fundamental to daily life.

Focus is the only credible climate strategy

Neither companies nor policymakers can do everything at once. Climate action only works when it is focused on the areas of greatest impact.

For companies, that means prioritizing the parts of the value chain where we have expertise, responsibility and scale. For policymakers, it means enabling action where regulation and investment can unlock near-term emission reductions.
