FAO champions multistakeholder partnerships to build sustainable food and agriculture systems, addressing hunger, climate change, and rural poverty. The World Banana Forum (WBF) exemplifies this, showcasing the banana sector as a global model for inclusive, climate-smart value chains. This collaboration among producers, governments, and retailers advances sustainability, fairness, and resilience through initiatives like living wages and responsible purchasing.

This event aims to raise awareness of partnerships' role in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and promote the WBF as a replicable model for other agricultural sectors. For more information, visit the FAO Partnerships page and the World Banana Forum.

Eco restoration is vital for life on Earth. John D. Liu's Commonland Foundation spearheads 55 large-scale global projects.

In Egypt, Siham Said (Habiba), Maximilian Abouleish-Boes (SEKEM), and Naglaa Ahmed (Egyptian Biodynamic Association) demonstrate success, reviving hydrological cycles and ecological function on dried land. Two thousand Egyptian farmers actively restore nature, store carbon, and develop sustainable organic agriculture, often via carbon credits—a stark contrast to COP27.

Half the world's population lacks essential health services, a gap autonomous mobile clinics (AMCs) with AI doctor functions aim to bridge for universal health coverage. Recognized by the World Economic Forum, this AI for Good session focuses on developing self-driving vehicles as adaptable healthcare delivery platforms for underserved and hard-to-reach communities.

An AI doctor application, demonstrated by screening monkeypox from low-end mobile phone images, illustrates this concept. Join the discussion on developing, open-sourcing, and standardizing AI doctor functions. Learn how AI and multi-stakeholder partnerships can scale these pilots, setting industry standards and expanding benefits. Speakers include Ao Kong (UN Technology Bank) and Shaoshan Liu (IEEE).
