Description
The 3GF 2016 Summit will feature some of the most innovative systems thinking in the world today, outlining the pathways for delivering transformative solutions. Sharing of new ideas and evidence as well as experience from collaborative partnerships will form the essential deliberations. It is within this intellectually stimulating and very practical context, that the Summit will above all else advocate the need for green transformation - going further than ever ... and vastly faster.
The WRI Food Waste & Loss Protocol will be presented at this event. The Food Loss & Waste Protocol (FLW Protocol) is a multi-stakeholder effort to develop the global accounting and reporting standard (known as the FLW Standard) for quantifying food and associated inedible parts removed from the food supply chain (referred to for simplicity sake as ‘food loss and waste’). The FLW Standard will enable a wide range of entities - countries, companies and other organizations - to account for and report in a credible, practical and internationally consistent manner how much food loss and waste is created and identify where it occurs, enabling the targeting of efforts to reduce it.
The vision of this project is that wide use of the FLW Standard will empower entities to minimize food loss and waste, thereby enhancing food security, economic performance, natural resource use efficiency and environmental health. Development of the standard is being coordinated by the World Resources Institute (WRI) in conjunction with the Consumer Goods Forum (CGF), FAO, FUSIONS, UNEP, World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD), and WRAP.
