dc.descriptionThis policy brief examines sustainable fisheries in the context of international trade, development, and environmental sustainability. Fish and fishery products are among the most widely traded commodities globally, with developing countries producing nearly three times as much fish as developed countries. The document highlights how over-exploitation, harmful subsidies, climate change, illegal fishing, and inadequate infrastructure have placed severe pressure on global fish stocks and threatened future trade opportunities. It outlines the benefits of adopting green fishing practices, reforming fisheries subsidies, and reducing trade barriers, while discussing opportunities for economic growth, ecosystem restoration, employment creation, and sustainable aquaculture to support a transition towards a green economy.en
