Leaving no one behind
The key element LEAVING NO ONE BEHIND involves actions to overcome societal issues at large which hinder consumption of aquatic food in populations, like global-, regional, and national policies, investment choices, transition from green to blue, malnutrition and hunger. For example, scientific understanding underpinning solutions providing climate smart and nutritious aquatic food, can give leverage in influencing decision-makers. Relevant SDGs related to this element are SDG 5, 8, 9, 10, 14. Relevant recommendations from the Committee on World Food Security are CFS 4A.1, 4A.2,4A.7, .4D, 4E, 4F, 4G.
