#ICYMI 🔵 Blue or aquatic foods – foods that are wild-caught or farmed from oceans, rivers, and lakes – are increasingly recognised as a priority for climate action, yet they are often overlooked in climate discussions and underfunded in mitigation and adaptation financing. New guidelines, produced by the Stanford Center for Ocean Solutions, WorldFish, FAO, Beijer Institute of Ecological Economics, CARE, and the Environmental Defense Fund, share opportunities for governments to incorporate blue foods in nationally determined contributions and other climate strategies.

Jess is an Indian-British Australian artist, communications professional, and environmental campaigner living on Gadigal land in Sydney, Australia. She is passionate about climate justice and uses her art to drive people to take action on climate campaigns.
