BU BÖLÜM HAKKINDA
In this episode of The Work We Do, we are joined by Kaveh Zahedi, Assistant Director-General and Director of the Office of Climate Change, Biodiversity and Environment at FAO. Kaveh discusses the central role of agriculture as part of the solution to climate change and biodiversity loss, and the challenges that El Niño and extreme heat pose to farmers and agrifood systems around the world. He also explores how countries can prepare for these growing pressures and build more resilient agrifood systems.
Kaveh also shares his own journey, from encountering environmental economics during his studies to a career at the United Nations, shaped by the connections between people, the economy and the environment.
