. • This document will build on existing initiatives and leadership from across Canada’s food systems: o Canadian companies are deploying innovative and high-impact solutions to reduce and prevent food waste. o Our food and agriculture sector is developing and adopting clean technologies around green energy, energy efficiency, precision agriculture, and the bio-economy. o Canadian livestock producers are global leaders in sustainable production of protein with one of the lowest greenhouse gas emission profiles. Through sustainability assurance programs, Canada’s producers are demonstrating their commitment to further lowering their environmental footprint and making strong socio-economic contributions. • We must break down silos and build partnerships, as demonstrated by our Living Labs Program, which brings together farmers, scientists, and industry to accelerate the development and adoption of sustainable practices and technologies. • We have much to learn from partnerships with Indigenous peoples, who have been safeguarding biodiversity and who have proven the importance of preserving traditional food systems. • Empowering women is a prerequisite for food system transformation, and will result in systems that are more sustainable, equitable and efficient. • Canada has been pleased to work with its partners to maintain the focus on gender equality, and amplify the voices of Indigenous peoples in the Summit process. • The Sustainable Development Goals will not be achieved without an inclusive approach. • Canada recognizes the importance of rules-based trade, science-based international standards and risk-based approaches to improving food security. • We are pleased to see the strong global commitment to scaling proven methods to achieve Zero Hunger. • As we move to implementation, the spirit of collaboration should continue. • Every nation contributes to the development of positive long-term changes.

  Background | United Nations

The NPT is a landmark international treaty whose objective is to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons and weapons technology, to promote co-operation in the peaceful uses of nuclear energy and to further the goal of achieving nuclear disarmament and general and complete disarmament. (...) Initial efforts, which began in 1946, to create an international system enabling all States to have access to nuclear technology under appropriate safeguards, were terminated in 1949 without the achievement of this objective, due to serious political differences between the major Powers. (...) His proposal resulted in 1957 in the establishment of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), which was charged with the dual responsibility of promotion and control of nuclear technology. IAEA technical assistance activities began in 1958.
