EfD researchers engaged at the 2025 UN Ocean Conference
Researchers from the BlueRforD program shared evidence on how sustainable aquaculture can balance economic growth, environmental protection, and social responsibility. Drawing on studies from Africa, Asia, and Latin America, the team emphasized the need for reliable data and inclusive management to guide national policies.
Their science-based tools and comparative insights helped inform UN discussions and strengthened efforts to build more resilient blue food systems.
The event also highlighted the importance of cross-regional learning, showing how shared methods help countries respond to climate-related challenges in aquaculture. EfD’s contributions ensured that developing country perspectives were represented in policy dialogues.
