Agri4D 2025
Welcome to join SLU Global and SIANI for Agri4D 2025. The conference will take place in Uppsala. Some of the sessions will be held online.
Save the date for the upcoming Agri4D conference, where SLU Global and SIANI will unite science, policy, and practice to make a real-world impact on global food systems and help achieve Sustainable Development Goal 2.
Main theme: Nurturing regenerative food systems in a changing climate
The objective of Agri4D 2025 is to discuss science that can contribute to evidence-based policy and practice needed to transform global food systems and contribute to the sustainable development goals.
This year’s Agri4D will focus on nurturing regenerative food systems that are resilient to climate change and have low climate impact, while contributing to social, environmental and economic sustainability. The conference encourages dynamic multi-stakeholder dialogues that can stimulate transformations contributing to eradicate hunger in the world.
All stakeholders, including researchers, practitioners, civil society, private sector and policy makers, who are working on food systems in low income contexts, are invited to join the conference to discuss innovative solutions for tomorrow. You can engage in several ways, for example through oral and poster presentations, workshops or roundtable discussions.

Nordic Climate Dialogues
Catalyzing climate finance for climate change
Finance is not just about numbers. It is a critical enabler of climate action and sustainable development.
Adequate financial resources enable us to build and scale climate action, protect vulnerable communities from climate-related impacts such as floods, droughts, and rising sea levels, and support developing countries in achieving their climate and development objectives.
Although we have witnessed progress in climate financing over the past few years, with adaptation financing more than doubling between 2018 and 2022, we are still falling short of what is needed. The ‘climate finance gap’ – the difference between the trillions of dollars needed and the amounts currently available – remains persistent. To bridge the gap, public funding is dependent on new finance coming from the private sector.
Nordic Climate Dialogues 2025 aims to catalyse stronger partnerships among Nordic actors of climate finance and development across the Nordic region. By convening government representatives, financiers, institutions, strategic partners, think tanks, research institutions, and NGOs, this event aims to build a network of professionals, inspire Nordic collaboration, and explore ways to mobilise financing at speed and scale. Rooted in the region’s shared values, strengths, and expertise in sustainability and green innovation, we can drive global impact.
We will be talking about how the Nordic region can catalyse more high-quality finance for climate action, benefiting the most vulnerable people, communities, and our planet. Together, we can propose bold ideas that can drive transformative change.
Time: 9:30 – 19:00

Gender in Food, Land and Water Systems Conference 2025
The 2025 biennial CGIAR gender research conference will be held from 7-9 October 2025 in Cape Town, South Africa. The theme for the conference is ‘Accelerating equality in food, land, and water systems: Driving solutions through evidence and learning’
The year 2025 marks the beginning of the final five years of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the SDGs. Achieving SDG 5—gender equality and empowerment of all women and girls—seems out of reach by 2030. Yet, greater gender equality and inclusion are essential for attaining all other SDGs.
The poly-crises of COVID-19, climate change, conflict, and food crises have not only halted but, in many cases, reversed progress toward gender equality. In agri-food systems, unequal gender and social relations undermine responses to these crises and hinder the resilience of rural communities and landscapes. A 2023 estimate suggests that an extra $360 billion per year is needed to achieve gender equality and empower women by 2030.
The international conference “Accelerating Equality in Food, Land, and Water Systems: Driving solutions through Evidence and Learning” follows the tradition of the biennial CGIAR GENDER conferences. It will bring together researchers from various organizations (academia, NARES, NGOs, and CSOs) and knowledge users (policymakers, practitioners, private sector actors, local and indigenous communities and others) who work toward creating innovations and generating evidence to transform food systems.
