Agriculture was a big winner after 134 world leaders endorsed the COP28 Presidency Declaration on Agriculture, Resilient Food Systems and Climate Action.

In the declaration, they pledged to integrate food and agriculture into their national climate plans for the first time, in a move hailed by observers despite fears over its silence on the role of fossil fuels.
