COP28 Action Agenda on Regenerative Landscapes

The COP28 Action Agenda on Regenerative Landscapes is a groundbreaking model of multi-stakeholder action on regenerative agriculture at landscape level. This flagship initiative, launched by the COP28 Presidency, the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD), and the Boston Consulting Group (BCG), with support from the UN Climate Change High Level Champions, brings together farmers, agribusinesses, financiers, and leading non-state actors to aggregate, accelerate, and amplify existing efforts and new commitments to transition large agricultural landscapes to regenerative practices by 2030.

It aims to aggregate, accelerate and amplify existing efforts and new commitments to transition large agricultural landscapes to regenerative landscapes by 2030. COP30 will represent a key milestone, where participants will be required to show progress across five key impact areas – soil health, GHG emissions, biodiversity, water and farmer livelihoods.u202f Food value chain players, financiers, local governments and other stakeholders are invited to engage with the Action Agenda to:

  • Foster transparency
  • Gain access to partnerships
  • Help to accelerate public-private collaborations
  • Benefit from collaboration, knowledge and best practices sharing
  • Gain access to financing
  • Contribute to alignment towards a commonly accepted outcome framework
  • Inspire other players by showcasing efforts and results achieved
