Co-Host Lead Session 2: Sustainable governance and management interventions in aquatic food and water systems to ensure food and nutrition security in the face of climate change

Aquatic blue foods and water systems have enormous potential to contribute to achieving net-zero emissions from food systems and to support food security and livelihoods globally through provision of key micronutrients and protein to some of the most climate change vulnerable and food insecure communities in the world. Although climate change creates significant risks to the nutritional, economic, and cultural contributions of water and aquatic food systems, management reforms could mitigate many of the negative impacts of climate change. This session will bring several policy-makers and funders to discuss successful governance and management interventions for aquatic foods and water at the international, national, state, and local levels.
