Invitation to COP30 Side Event

Sustainable
aquatic food systems:

"A people-centered approach for planetary and human health"

11th November 2025 at 15:30 – 16:30 Rome time (GMT +2)
Nordic Pavilion, Blue Zone

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to invite you to our upcoming COP30 side event on 11th November 2025.

Aquatic food systems remain an overlooked and underutilized potential in global food systems dialogue. This event seeks to identify actionable steps to accelerate the transition towards sustainable food systems by fully integrating aquatic foods into the broader agenda. The UN Decade of Action on Nutrition 2020 - 2030, calls for efforts and new initiatives to build momentum for stronger nutrition focus in the global food systems agenda. It is crucial that we enhance our systems thinking, efficiently translate science into policy and promote and showcase good practices for safe, healthy and climate smart food systems. By aligning with the climate action processes and COP 30 we may amplify the role of aquatic foods in achieving sustainable, resilient, and equitable food systems.

The event will convene a dynamic and diverse group of panelists, including young and local voices alongside high-level policy makers, scientists, and UN agencies. Together they will explore possible solutions and ways to achieve sustainable food systems that deliver safe and nutritious food for all.

Please contact the network organizers (foodfromtheocean@hi.no) if you have any questions.
