Despite this contribution, Pacific Countries face real challenges in realising equitable benefits from the global food system. This has implications for the health of Pacific people (in particular, the burden of non-communicable diseases) as well as our environment, livelihoods and the economic development of the region. Climate change and climate-related disasters pose a critical threat to Pacific food systems, and COVID-19 has demonstrated underlying vulnerabilities to other shocks. The Blue Pacific Food Systems is a dialogue for the 22 countries and territories of the Pacific Community* to catalyse multi-sectorial ideas on Game Changing solutions across 5 Action Tracks for the UN Summit, and identify opportunities for action across Pacific food systems.  The Dialogue process consists of a scene setting webinar held on May 7th – the recording of the webinar and an Evidence Brief developed to support the Dialogue process can be viewed at  https://www.spc.int/updates/blog/2021/05/pacific-contributes-to-un-food-system-summit , and the Dialogue proper will be held May 20. The participants will be  Civil Society & NGOs (farmer groups, women’s groups, health, etc)  Multiple sectors from national governments  Private sector (small and large)  Development partners Academia and researchers  Youth groups  Church and religious groups  *Cook Islands, Fiji, Kiribati, The Northern Marianna Islands, New Caledonia, Palau, Papua New Guinea ,  the Pitcairn Islands,  French Polynesia,  Tokelau,  Tonga,  Tuvalu, Niue,  the Marshall Islands,  the Federated States of Micronesia,  Wallis and Futuna, Nauru,  The Salomon Islands,  American Samoa, Vanuatu and Samoahttps://summitdialogues.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/cover-pic-1024x576.jpg
