Dear UN Atlas Member,
This month, world attention will focus on the United Nations Global Climate Change Conference, known as COP-15, in Copenhagen. It will be a decisive meeting as government leaders, negotiators, ministers and scientists seek to find agreement on the challenges of climate change, including its implications for our oceans, for fisheries and for aquaculture. PaCFA, the Global Partnership Climate, Fisheries and Aquaculture, representing 20 international organizations, as well as the Global Forum on Oceans, Coasts and Islands, will be participating, along with many others, to explain and voice the risks and opportunities for all those who depend on our world's oceans.Climate change also featured in many discussions at last month's World Summit on Food Security held at FAO headquarters in Rome which resulted in a pledge by world leaders to reverse the declining trend of public investment in agriculture, food security and rural development.
If this newsletter may interest someone you know, please forward it.
