Featuring Walton Foundation Oceans Program Officer Leo Pradela, COMEPESCA Acting CEO Citlali Gomez Lepe, former Global Tuna Alliance Executive Director Tom Pickerell, and EDF AVP and Lead Senior Scientist for Ocean Science Kristin Kleisner, “Increasing the Seafood Industry’s Voice in Global Climate Policy” – moderated by Seafood2030 Director Ned Daly – is available free for SeafoodSource Premium members and for USD 300 (EUR 274) to non-members through the Complete Digital Ticket: Seafood Expo North America 2023.
The session was presented on Monday, 13 March 2023, with the following description:
There are a number of important efforts in seafood to address the industry’s impact on climate change, but there are far fewer efforts working to address climate change’s impact on the seafood industry. The seafood industry can be an important voice in climate change policy due to the significant impact climate can have on oceans, fisheries, the industry, and the importance of seafood to food security and climate-friendly food systems. Despite the threats climate change poses for the seafood industry, there are few mechanisms or platforms to elevate the industry’s voice in international climate policy fora. This panel will explore the value and opportunity for the seafood industry to more effectively communicate the climate-related issues it is facing and to ensure climate policy reflects and addresses the increasing impacts on oceans, fisheries, and seafood production.
The entire package of videos from Seafood Expo Global can also be purchased for USD 300 (EUR 274) for non-members and is free to SeafoodSource Premium members through the Complete Digital Ticket: Seafood Expo Global 2023.
