Context:
Blue or aquatic foods – foods that are wild-caught or farmed from oceans, rivers, and lakes – are increasingly recognized as a priority for climate action, yet they are often overlooked in climate discussions and underfunded in mitigation and adaptation financing. Policymakers have an opportunity to address climate impacts on blue food systems and leverage the fisheries and aquaculture sectors for climate adaptation, mitigation, and emissions reduction.
New guidelines, released this September and produced by the Stanford Center for Ocean Solutions, WorldFish, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, Beijer Institute of Ecological Economics, CARE, and the Environmental Defense Fund, share opportunities for governments to incorporate blue foods in nationally determined contributions and other climate strategies.
This regional webinar series dives into some of the policy options and case study examples outlined in the guidelines. The webinars will take place virtually and will be recorded. The Africa & the Middle East webinar (Oct 17th) will include French translation and the Europe & the Americas webinar (Oct 22nd) will include Spanish translation.
