The agrifood sector sits at the heart of both the climate crisis and the pathway to a livable future. Agriculture is a massive global emitter, but also one of the first sectors to feel the heat. From droughts to floods, farmers are already feeling the effects of a changing climate. In order to preserve global agrifood systems, the sector will need to transition to more sustainable and resilient practices.
That’s why Climate Bonds is launching our Agrifood Transition Framework — a new tool designed to guide financial institutions, investors, and stakeholders through the complexities of financing a credible, just, and science-aligned transition in the agrifood system.
This Framework marks a pivotal step in ensuring that capital flows into companies that are not only addressing climate mitigation but also driving climate adaptation, protecting nature, and supporting social equity. It builds on Climate Bonds’ Agrifood Transition Principles and integrates the Agriculture Criteria launched in 2024, as well as evolving work on deforestation- and conversion-free sourcing.
