Description:
The Fisheries, International Trade, and Sustainable Development programme aims to inject both the
sustainable development and natural resource management perspectives into the debate on trade
and fisheries. The ultimate objective of the programme is to make international trade in fisheries
supportive of sustainable development.
The programme's main activity will be to convene a series of policy dialogues on fisheries,
international trade, and sustainable development which will link processes and actors, and bring
together all the different stakeholders' perspectives. Initially the programme aims to facilitate a
process in which each stakeholder can move beyond the constraints inherent in his or her position, to
enable all participants to step back from particular debates and stand-offs regarding fisheries, trade,
and sustainable development-related issues such as subsidies, ecolabelling, or conservation
measures. The dialogues, research, and information exchange process will seek to build common
understanding and a baseline of shared information, and pave the way for participating stakeholders
to seek solutions compatible with the aims of sustainable development by exploring ways to improve
resource management while safeguarding the livelihoods of those who depend on fisheries, and
ensuring economic growth for developing countries.
