$9 Billion Boost for Climate Initiative Targeting Agriculture

U.S. and UAE-led AIM now has $17 billion to invest in innovative solutions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from food systems.

$9 billion additional funding announced for the Agriculture Innovation Mission (AIM) for Climate, a joint initiative by the U.S. and UAE, bringing total investment to $17 billion.
AIM focuses on innovation in agriculture and food systems, which account for about a third of greenhouse gas emissions.
The funding will support a variety of projects, including a $500 million action agenda on 'regenerative agriculture' and initiatives to reduce synthetic nitrogen.
Many of the projects target middle- and low-income countries, where farmers often have less technology to combat climate change.
Experts warn that the real test will be whether more funding comes in and if the projects are held accountable for their promises.
