The S2SR programme will implement substantive activities to support a just transition during its new phase. For fishing and seafood processing communities facing the prospects of a significant loss of livelihoods as a result of climate change, diversification of job opportunities and job matching services to access them will be expanded. The programme will also support social dialogue to promote expanded coverage by social protection during the transition, as well as to increase private sector compliance with regulations protecting marine resources. In addition, re-training will be provided so that workers can adapt to more sustainable fishing, seafood processing and aquaculture practices. Furthermore, information and advice will be made available to the private sector on green business practices and innovations to increase environmental sustainability.

title:

Recommendation 7. Promote a Just Transition for Local Fishers As global efforts to combat climate change and overfishing evolve, local fishers face significant economic risks. A just transition ensures that those working in the fishing and seafood processing sectors can be prepared to adapt to new environmental and shifting economic and environmental realities. It is recommended for S2SR to connect fishers and workers with programs that provide sustainable, alternative livelihoods, financial support, and new skills, such as aquaculture, agriculture, tourism-based livelihoods, to help fishers adapt to sustainable practices.
