With the start of COP28 in Dubai, The Nature Conservancy emphasizes that the role the food system plays in climate change is often overlooked, but that aquaculture provides a promising solution in meeting greenhouse gas emission targets.
With everything at stake, world leaders, including The Nature Conservancy (TNC) – one of the world’s largest environmental non-profit organisations – have come together in Dubai to coordinate global climate action for the coming year at the UN climate change conference, COP28.
This COP meeting in particular has added significance as it comes shortly after the first official UN report card on the world’s climate progress – the Global Stocktake – which laid out in stark detail the current gap between ambition and action.
“Aquaculture is not only our fastest-growing form of food production, but it also has the potential to be the most sustainable.” – Robert Jones, global aquaculture lead for The Nature Conservancy
