I think agriculture can be made sustainable by adopting newer technologies such as GMO cultivation and vertical farming. These farming practices would be less susceptible to the adverse affects of climate change. It will come with a cost, but it is a green premium that we must accept.

Closing the adaptation gap is a dire need of the hour. As the Adaptation Gap Report, released by UNEP, addresses, the current inflow of funds to tackle this issue are insufficient. We are beyond the point of avoiding this crisis, and adaptation should be our primary target. Building resilience and blanketing the most vulnerable groups of society with safety nets is critical.

@AwaTraorĂŠ from Senegal

Fisherfolks in Senegal, a West African country known as some of the richest fishing grounds, are already suffering from IUU fishing, overexploitation of most fish stocks, fleet overcapacity, and fishmeal and fish oil industries which infringe on their rights and threaten their livelihoods and food security...The Covid-19 left most of them diminished with the brutal stop of their fishing activities and adding the climate change issue comes in addition to other environmental challenges they're already hardly facing. Thus, when we're asking to build back better, we're asking developed countries leaders to think about them while committing to invest towards sustainable green solutions.

The agriculture question requires a comprehensive solution approach. Agricultural solutions that I wish to learn more about, specifically.
