Industrienationen sind in der Verantwortung die Wahrung der Menschenrechte in Anbetracht der Klimakrise in den Vordergrund zu rücken. Da Deutschland ein einflussreiches Mitglied in der Europäischen Union (EU) und innerhalb den Vereinten Nationen (UN) ist, fordert EJF mit diesem Positionspapier die Bundesregierung auf, eine Vorreiterrolle im Kampf gegen die Klimakrise einzunehmen und Maßnahmen zu ergreifen, um all jene zu schützen, die heute schon unter den Folgen der Klimakrise leiden.

Between January and December 2018, EJF used DNA testing to determine levels of seafood fraud in the Republic of Korea. The results showed that over a third of samples tested were mislabelled. This mislabelling defrauds consumers, risks public health, harms the marine environment and can be associated with serious human rights abuses across the world. These findings demonstrate the urgent need for greater transparency and traceability in Korean seafood.

Women play a vital part in Ghana's fisheries as business owners and fishmongers, yet have little say against the illegal fishing methods that are damaging their livelihoods. This gender report, co-authored by Hen Mpoano and EJF under the Far Dwuma Nkɔdo project, provides a close look at the gender dynamics of the artisanal fisheries sector, and makes recommendations to further empower women. It calls for the strengthening of women's organisations and the provision of leadership training, to build towards greater gender equity.
