Rejoignez-nous pour une session dédiée à la présentation de l'économie des océans, basée sur une analyse des bases de données disponibles, dont celles de ONU Commerce et Développement (CNUCED/UNCTAD) sur le commerce de biens et services océaniques – le seul ensemble de données mondial spécifiquement consacré au commerce des biens et services liés aux océans, incluant les produits de la mer, le tourisme d'autres éléments essentiels de l'économie bleue.
Alors que les nations s'efforcent de développer des systèmes alimentaires durables issus de l'océan, l'accès à des données commerciales fiables et détaillées est crucial. Cette session offre aux participants une vue d'ensemble pratique sur la manière dont ces bases de données peuvent soutenir l'élaboration de politiques fondées sur des preuves et des stratégies commerciales visant à promouvoir des économies alimentaires océaniques résilientes, durables et inclusives.
