Ministers and leaders from around 200 countries gather at global climate talks, this week and next, in Baku, Azerbaijan.
These UN-sponsored talks have been going for 29 years. As emissions continue to rise, and CO2 continues to accumulate in the atmosphere, heating the planet, you may rightly wonder about their role or usefulness.
But there is no other event on Earth yet to replace them with.
And at least they spark debate! Which is what we do, in our 18th episode of the New Food Finance.
This week, I spoke with Serhat Cicekoglu, founder of the venture capital firm Sente Ventures, who is travelling to Baku.
We discussed, how can a UN process led by ministers and bureaucrats spur innovation at the sharp of end of business, to help us feed a growing population in a world facing climate change, and other serious food system challenges.
Serhat had a very clear idea of what is needed - short-term measureable targets, that these annual talks can report back on, every 12 months, to see what works and what doesn't.
He feels 30 or 40-year targets are all very well, but what we actually need is to innovate, experiment and deploy - all as fast as possible!
