Abstract

By 2050, humans will face the challenge of having to provide food and livelihoods to a population likely to exceed nine billion people. This challenge is well reflected in the United Nations Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development, a global commitment to end poverty and hunger and to ensure that economic, social and technological progress occur in harmony with nature, through the sustainable management of natural resources. The goals of this agenda cover a wide array of critical areas in human development and socio-economic issues faced by humanity today, with many being interrelated. In particular, the goals of “Poverty Reduction,” “Zero Hunger,” “Decent Work and Economic Growth,” Climate Action and “Life below Water” (Goals 1, 2, 8, 13 and 14) are especially impactful and relevant to the marine fishery industry and allied fields as well.
