- Labor Rights, Biodiversity, and Climate Change—the Nexus of Sustainable Seafood Movement
The global collective efforts to establish a sustainable and responsible society continue to address important issues such as climate change, biodiversity and natural capital protection, and labor rights in the global supply chains.
Our ocean faces all of these ecological, economic, and social challenges and our collective action is more important than ever.
It is a cradle for living creatures and captures and stores greenhouse gasses as "blue carbon". On the other hand, the seafood industry's supply chain faces human rights issues, as well as challenges such as a decline in wild fish stocks and the number of fishing workers. Rising fuel and feed prices due to geopolitical risks have also put pressure on the seafood industry, posing challenges to food security. The time has come for financial institutions to invest in the ocean while assessing these risks and opportunities.
At the Sustainable Seafood Summit 2022, with a wide range of experts from international organizations, governments, companies, financial institutions, NGOs, and others, we will discuss a path to carve out a new area of Blue Ocean Strategy for the seafood sector.
