ROME, Dec. 1 (Xinhua) -- Agrifood systems are facing a growing threat from climate change-related loss and damage, and actions must be taken to address their vulnerabilities, according to a report published on Friday by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO UN).

The report was released on the sidelines of the UN Climate Conference COP28 in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. It came one day after world leaders at COP28 agreed to operationalize the Loss and Damage Fund established last year at COP27.
