The FAO Liaison Offices in Brussels, Geneva, New York and the FAO Office of SIDS, LDCs and LLDCs in collaboration with FAO’s Fisheries and Aquaculture Division are organizing a hybrid dialogue event on `Blue Transformation: Maximizing the contribution of Aquatic Food Systems to the 2030 Sustainable Agenda in SIDS´ to explore potential solutions that respond to the calls made at the SIDS4 conference. The event will focus on current successes and experiences- particularly in the development of sustainable and integrated aquatic food value chains, that can provide lessons learned and pathways for a Blue Transformation in SIDS. The event will feature a variety of voices, including FAO Members and other relevant stakeholders.
The main objectives of this dialogue are:
- To provide an overview of trends concerning fisheries and aquaculture in SIDS.
- To identify and share solutions for developing sustainable aquatic food systems, while highlighting the opportunities offered by Blue Transformation to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
