as soon as possible with climate action in agriculture.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8220;The challenge now is our ability to achieve food security, eradicate poverty and achieve sustainable development.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Therefore, strengthening regional climate action, particularly in the agricultural sector, which is the source of a wide range of solutions that contribute to climate change adaptation and mitigation, is urgent,&#8221; explained Mario Lubetkin, FAO Regional Representative for Latin America and the Caribbean.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">The FAO regional office&#8217;s participation in COP27 focused on the work conducted by the Platform for Climate Action
