Fish are a major component of global biodiversity, with 70 percent of the biomass of animals on earth living in aquatic systems. There is a growing interest and concern for marine and freshwater life. For the first time in its history, the Global Risks Perception Survey (World Economic Forum Global Risks Report 2020) identifies environmental concerns as dominating the top long-term risks to economic stability and social cohesion. Mainstreaming of biodiversity across use sectors offers the greatest opportunity for ensuring productive and resilient ocean and freshwater systems able to support the well-being and livelihoods of communities around the world. This document: provides an overview of work carried out by FAO on mainstreaming of biodiversity considerations in fisheries and aquaculture; includes information on the FAO Strategy on Mainstreaming Biodiversity across Agricultural Sectors, as approved in 2019 by the Council; and contains the draft action plan for the implementation of the Strategy (Appendix 1).
