Abstract/Contents

Abstract
Blue foods–aquatic animals, plants, and algae cultivated or captured in freshwater and marine environments–are increasingly recognized as vital to include in the conversation on sustainable food systems under climate change. This paper synthesizes existing evidence on blue foods’ potential contribution to decarbonizing food systems by identifying four distinct levers with and around blue foods and presents key policy instruments through which the international community can utilize said levers in climate change mitigation and adaptation strategies.
