Aquatic food production, biodiversity and climate change

Food and Agriculture Organization, Centre for Resource Management and Environmental Studies, Environmental Defense Fund, International Union for Conservation of Nature

The side-event will contribute to the ongoing discussion about adaptation and mitigation strategies that consider simultaneously food security, biodiversity conservation and climate change in aquatic and coastal ecosystems. It will showcase examples showing how ecosystem restoration, adaptive management or protection has proven or is being considered to support climate mitigation and adaptation and will foster dialogue between the biodiversity and food production work streams. Discussions will focus on policy challenges &amp; awareness raising needs, as well as funding opportunities.
