What is the vital link between food systems, world hunger and the Atmospheric Commons? In this episode of Voice of Commons, host Giulia Foscari speaks with Martin Frick, Director of the UN World Food Programme’s Global Office in Berlin and co-founder of COPx, about how the systems meant to nourish life are accelerating planetary collapse. With hundreds of millions suffering from extreme food deprivation, this conversation explores how hunger is driven by systemic failures across our Global Commons — from a destabilised Atmosphere to degraded land and collapsing Ocean. Recorded at the Planetary Embassy in Venice, Frick calls for a mandatory global food transformation grounded in regenerative agriculture. A powerful call to rethink governance — and our role as stewards of life.
Martin Frick is a climate diplomat and systems thinker. He is a member of the Executive Committee of the Club of Rome, Director of the UN World Food Programme’s Global Office in Berlin, and co-founder of COPx. As Senior Director of UN Climate Change (UNFCCC), he oversaw the implementation of the Paris Agreement and the Secretariat’s global Climate Action work. Frick was the EU’s lead negotiator in the creation of the UN Human Rights Council and later helped establish the UN’s sustainability hub in Bonn.
He is a member of the Advisory Council of Voice of Commons, and was born at 324 parts per million carbon dioxide in the Atmosphere.
