Social protection, sustainability and fisheries
09/09/2022
The United Nations General Assembly has declared 2022 the International Year of Small-scale Fisheries and Aquaculture (IYAFA 2022) to raise global awareness and promote collaboration around this theme. To guide related initiatives, the IYAFA action plan has been structured around seven pillars, including social and environmental sustainability. Social protection can make a valuable contribution to each of these pillars.
In this episode, guests were invited to reflect on the role of social protection in covering vulnerable fishers and fishery workers against various social and climate-related risks and uncertainties. They also shared national case examples and reflected on some of the key aspects of improving social protection in the fishing sector.
In addition to the host, Jo Sharpe, Daniella Kalikoski and Daniela Salazar - both Fisheries Officers at the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) - and Sebastian Mathew, Executive Director of the International Collective in Support of Fishworkers (ICSF) took part in this rich discussion.
In the second part of the episode, Fabio Veras, research coordinator at the International Policy Centre for Inclusive Growth (IPC-IG), presents some early successes on the occasion of IPC-IG's 18th anniversary.
