Abstract:

 


Worldwide,
more than 800 million people depend on fish for food and income. But oceans and
livelihoods are under severe pressure. 90% of fish stocks are either overfished
(31%) or fully fished (59%). Additionally, climate change impacts marine
ecosystems –with drastic consequences for livelihoods, food security and
markets. Europe is the biggest market and importer of fish in the world. Most
of its imports come from developing countries. European consumers and
corporates play a vital role in protecting marine resources for millions of
people who depend on them. A responsible choice of seafood in Europe is a
global driver for change. Hence, European consumers, corporates and authorities
can make a global difference. This is why WWF and EJF teamed-up with partners
in Europe and the developing world – to drive the European market and global
fisheries in a more sustainable direction. A responsible choice of seafood in
Europe is a global driver for change. By 2020, consumers and the corporate
sector in Europe are taking responsibility by choosing sustainable seafood as
active contributors to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), climate change
mitigation and adaptation (https://www.fishforward.eu/en/fish-forward-description/).
