Dear CFS – HLPE Secretariat,

Switzerland would like to thank the HLPE for the comprehensive but focused zero draft on “The role of Sustainable Fisheries and Aquaculture for Food Security and Nutrition (FSN)”. We have noted two areas that could be further addressed in the next phase of the research and therefore we suggest to :

  • Address more directly existing and future FSN-related impact of climate change for sustainable fisheries and aquaculture  
  • Highlight the importance of strengthening and enhancing the effectiveness of organizations (incl. cooperatives), that represent (and are accountable to) small-scale fishers and fish processors, in policy processes as well as in delivering economic services to their members.

Best regards,

Christina Blank
