Each year, around 1.3 billion tons of food are wasted worldwide-making food loss not only an ethical and economic issue but also a major driver of climate change. If food waste were a country, it would rank third in greenhouse gas emissions, after the U.S. and China. Cutting food waste is one of the most cost-effective climate actions available.

In Germany, nearly 11 million tons of food are wasted annually, and in Poland, about 5 million tons. Waste occurs across the supply chain-from production to consumption-with households responsible for a large share due to habits, lack of awareness, and inefficiencies.

On October 17, 2025, the amendment to the EU Waste Framework Directive took effect, introducing binding food waste reduction targets by 2030: a 10% cut in processing and manufacturing and a 30% per capita reduction in retail, food services, and households. These rules will impact food industry companies through new reporting and compliance requirements.

As sustainability leaders, Germany and Poland acknowledge the urgency of reducing food waste, but collective action is still needed. The event will unite experts, practitioners, and the public to share solutions and inspire action against food waste and climate change.

Target Audience:

• Policymakers, business associations and city officials

• Environmental NGOs and activists

• University teachers, university students, and curriculum developers

• Food sector representatives (apps, retailers, food-industry, food banks)

• General public and diplomatic community

Participation is free of charge.
