FAO Headquarters in Rome will host the  High-Level Conference on World Food Security and the Challenges of Climate Change and Bioenergy from 3 to 5 June 2008.
The Conference will build upon the work initiated at the Expert Meetings of January-March 2008. All FAO member countries, relevant inter-governmental and non-governmental organizations and other institutions will be invited to attend.
The overall purpose of the Conference is to address food security and poverty reduction in the face of climate change and energy security. More specifically, the objective is to assess the challenges faced by the food and agriculture sectors from climate change and bioenergy in order to identify the steps required to safeguard food security within the broader context of action being recommended to address climate change and bioenergy at the global, regional and national levels. It should thus contribute to the UN system efforts in the field of climate change.
