The Issue-Based Coalition on Sustainable Food Systems and the United Nations Food Systems Coordination Hub are organizing a Regional preparatory meeting for the Food Systems Stocktaking Moment (STM), which will take place in Geneva, Switzerland, on the 28th of March 2023, on the sidelines of the 2023 UNECE Regional Forum on Sustainable Development. 

The regional meeting for the Europe and Central Asia region, organized as a technical-level workshop, will serve as a platform for the sharing of experiences, good practices, and lessons learned in national efforts to follow-up to the Food Systems Summit including through the operationalization and implementation of their National Pathways. 

Attending National Convenors and other stakeholders will be invited to identify priority actions and key messages for the Europe and Central Asia region to be synthetized in the form of a short document in the form of a technical report. 

The key messages will serve as the Europe and Central Asia region input for the planning of the 2023 Food Systems Stocktaking Moment.
