APEC Workshop on Promoting Sustainable Energy for Small Farmers towards Climate-friendly Agri Value Chains

The “APEC Workshop on Promoting Sustainable Energy for Small Farmers towards Climate-friendly Agri Value Chains” aims to provide capacity building for member economies, especially developing ones in how to figure out practical approaches in implementation and possible cooperation areas to enhance adoption of sustainable energy for agri-food values chains through sharing information, experiences, best practices and case studies. It is in line with the APEC 2022 Leaders’ Declaration that states “our commitment to promote strong, balanced, secure, sustainable and inclusive growth. We recognise that more intensive efforts are needed to address today’s challenges, including climate change, extreme weather and natural disasters, food security, and sustainable energy transitions that reduce greenhouse gas emissions, while ensuring energy resilience, access and security in the region” as well as the EWG’s strategic plan 2019 – 2023 that states “Strengthen coordination and cooperation through sharing best practices, accelerating innovation and promoting the deployment of advanced technologies, including renewable energy, energy efficiency, cleaner and more efficient fossil fuels, hydrogen, and nuclear energy for interested economies, adhering to nuclear safety, security, safeguards, and peaceful use”.
