WorldFish calls for increased climate adaptation finance for fisheries at COP31
What happened
WorldFish called for greater investment in climate adaptation for millions of people whose food and livelihoods depend on fisheries and aquaculture during COP31 in Antalya. The organization noted that fisheries received only 1 percent of tracked climate adaptation finance for food systems in 2019 and 2020. WorldFish urged governments and funders to include aquatic foods in national climate plans and finance.

Why it matters
The call highlights a wider gap in climate preparedness, as much attention remains on crops and livestock while fishing and fish-farming communities are overlooked. WorldFish is advocating for the inclusion of aquatic foods in national climate plans and finance, reinforcing the need for practical support within the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.
