Our oceans are warming and this all leads to change in ecosystems, but it also affects local communities and industry by changing the distribution of species across the globe. IPNLF’s ground teams and the small-scale fisheries we work with are already seeing how climate change affects migration patterns of tuna, leading to less tuna reaching shores. This directly impacts the livelihoods of coastal communities and threatens food security and household income of those who are intrinsically linked to the ocean.

IPNLF, together with 17 industry partners have committed to support investments in innovations and modern climate-friendly technology with the aim of reducing the carbon footprint of one-by-one tuna supply chains to help ensure a future for even the most remote fishing communities.

In this panel discussion, we take a closer look at proposed carbon emission reduction from the fisheries’ level and through the supply chain with market partners that have a direct connection to these small-scale fisheries and one of Europe’s leading scientists.
