The Council, at its 163rd Session, adopted the FAO Strategy on Mainstreaming Biodiversity across Agricultural Sectors (Strategy). This document provides an overview of policy and practices in mainstreaming biodiversity considerations in fisheries and aquaculture, within the larger context of FAO’s Strategy on Mainstreaming Biodiversity across Agricultural Sectors. As environmental concerns are progressively being recognized as a risk to economic stability and social cohesion, and as aquatic systems become more significant food providers, their biodiversity considerations are progressively also gathering increasing global interest. Ensuring biodiverse and resilient aquatic systems in support of the well-being and livelihoods of communities around the world is essential for fisheries and aquaculture, and aligned with the 2050 vision of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD): living in harmony with nature. Ensuring there is a well-crafted, orderly plan for people and nature across sectoral and conservation initiatives will help shape biodiversity mainstreaming for decades to come. At its 166th Session, the Council approved the 2021-23 Action Plan for the Implementation of the FAO Strategy on Mainstreaming Biodiversity across Agricultural Sectors (Action Plan). It is foreseen that the Action Plan will be further developed in the light of new developments and agreements, including those reached under the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), the Commission on Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (CGRFA) and the International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (ITPGRFA), and experiences with the implementation of the Strategy and the Action Plan.
