Businesses are key to scaling climate adaptation in agriculture and financing our future. But barriers like limited finance and policy gaps hold them back. UN Development and Food and Agriculture Organization are bridging the gap with climate-smart value chains. 👉 See how: go.undp.org/UDG #FFD4

Invisible, toxic… and everywhere. Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) poison air, water, & soil, harming humans & ecosystems. No border stops these “forever chemicals“. UNEP & Global Environment Facility (GEF) monitor their presence in the environment & humans in efforts to #BeatChemicalPollution.
