The goal of ‘AIM for Climate’ is to speed up research and development (R&D) on agriculture in support of climate action.

“The United States is proud to be pioneering the Agriculture Innovation Mission for Climate initiative along with the United Arab Emirates and several other supportive partners,” said U.S. Special Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry.

“I was impressed by the ingenuity being applied to food and climate challenges during my recent trip to the UAE, and know that we all stand to benefit by sharing best practices and raising innovation ambition when it comes to climate-smart agriculture. AIM for Climate can serve as a unique platform for cooperation among many countries on these shared challenges,” Kerry added.

Reportedly, the mission will be advanced at the UN Food Systems Summit scheduled to take place in September 2021 and launched at COP26 in November 2021.

The mission, once officially launched, will help raise global ambition and underpin more transformative climate action in all countries.

As many as 1.2 billion people around the world could be displaced by 2050 due to the global climate crisis as ecological disasters drive mass migrations and greater armed conflict, according to an analysis.

Sydney-based Institute for Economics and Peace (IEP) projected that no nation will be able to escape the effects of the climate crisis, but the world’s poorest as well as most vulnerable populations will be hardest hit.

The regions facing the highest number of threats are:

• Sub-Saharan Africa
• South Asia
• Middle East
• North Africa
