Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureCapture fisheries – Aquatic foods and climate policy
In Brief – Integrating blue foods into national climate strategies
2025Also available in:
No results found.Aquatic food systems are increasingly recognized as an essential contributor of adaptation and mitigation solutions in national climate strategies, while safeguarding food and nutrition security for billions of people. With countries submitting updated nationally determined contributions (NDCs), there is a timely opportunity to scale up climate action on aquatic foods. This brochure summarizes key policy options for capture fisheries, drawing on the NDC-Fish guidelines launched in 2024 by FAO together with partner organizations including the Stanford Center for Ocean Solutions, WorldFish, the Beijer Institute of Ecological Economics, CARE, and the Environmental Defense Fund. -

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookIntegrating blue foods into national climate strategies
Enhancing nationally determined contributions and strengthening climate action
2024Also available in:
No results found.Blue or aquatic foods — foods that are wild-caught or farmed from oceans, rivers, and lakes — are an important part of global food systems. They are increasingly recognized as a priority for climate action, yet they are often overlooked in climate discussions and underfunded in mitigation and adaptation financing. Addressing climate impacts on aquatic food systems and leveraging their potential for climate action requires their integration into national climate strategies and UNFCCC processes. Climate decision-makers have an opportunity to use growing momentum and insights on blue foods to develop concrete policy strategies that can support a thriving blue food sector in the face of climate change.These guidelines are designed for audiences working on Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and other climate strategies. They offer diverse entry points for employing blue foods in climate solutions and are intended to be a starting point for setting targets and developing policies related to blue foods in climate action, offering a framework rather than an exhaustive list of actions. Policymakers can adapt these policy options to NDCs as well as consider their relevance in other areas of climate planning, including water and waste management, energy, nutrition, and economic development.The policy options outlined in these guidelines are organized into five intervention areas. In addition, we offer four enabling measures that can strengthen the implementation and monitoring of aquatic food climate solutions.
