The first three ARRDs were side events of the
United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP15) held in
2009,
2010, and
2011 in
Copenhagen,
Denmark,
Cancún,
Mexico, and
Durban,
South Africa, respectively. Over 500 people attended in 2011, where British population biologist
John Beddington "presented key actions for avoiding a future in which weather extremes produce a succession of food crises". The fourth event took place at the
United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development (UNCSD)—also called Rio 2012, Rio+20, or the Earth Summit 2012—in
Rio de Janeiro,
Brazil. It was co-hosted by the
Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation (Embrapa) and the CGIAR. The fifth and final ARDD, called Agriculture, Landscapes, and Livelihoods Day 5 (ALL-5), took place alongside Forest Day on the sidelines of the
2012 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP18) in
Doha,
Qatar. In 2013, this event merged with
Forest Day to become the
Global Landscapes Forum (GLF). == References ==
