Dubai: President Joe Biden extended his appreciation to UAE for their fruitful partnership with the US in organising the "Agriculture Innovation Mission for Climate" initiative (AIM for Climate / AIM4C). The collaborative effort focuses on doubling investment in climate-smart agriculture and advancing global food system innovation, highlighting the commitment of both nations to address pressing climate challenges. The culmination of the Aim for Climate summit, which started on May 8 in Washington DC, saw collaboration between the US Department of Agriculture and the UAE Ministry of Climate Change and Environment in organising the event. In a recorded address to the summit attendees, Biden emphasised the crucial role agriculture plays in tackling the challenges of the global climate crisis. He highlighted the success of the AIM for Climate initiative, which, since its inception two years ago, has drawn partners from across the globe to collaborate on solutions that enhance sustainable agricultural innovations. Mariam bint Mohammed Almheiri, UAE Minister of Climate Change and Environment, and numerous ministers, government officials, and non-government representatives from several partner countries were in attendance. Launched in 2021 as a collaborative effort between the UAE and the United States, the AIM for Climate initiative was introduced during COP26
