01:15 PM - 02:30 PM        (CR.9) Equity and fisheries : rebuilding  marine fish stocks under multiple stressors.
With the Sustainable Development Goal of the Agenda 2030 on the marine environment (SDG14) and the exclusive economic zone (EEZ) debate under the United Nations convention on the law of the sea (UNCLOS), the United Nations reaffirm the importance to conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources in the context of global changes. Wildcapture fisheries (including small-scale fisheries) and aquaculture supply seafood to 4.3 billion people worldwide, particularly in the developing countries of the global South. Sustainable exploitation of marine resources in a global change context is vital to supply animal protein worldwide. This implies 1- preserving species, including emblematic large predatory fishes, 2- preserving ecosystem integrity and 3- preserving equity between Northern and Southern countries, i.e., fair access and trade. These requirements are challenging marine ecosystem science, which needs to address climate change mitigation and adaptation policies for marine sustainability in an ocean under multiple stressors.
Event organized by the Permanent Mission of France, in collaboration with Institut de Recherche pour le Développement (IRD).

01:30 PM - 02:45 PM        (CR.4) Women’s Leadership and Gender Perspectives on Preventing and Countering Violent Extremism - Global Leadership – Local Partnerships.
Terrorism and violent extremism are among the greatest security threats of our time. As the international community strengthens its efforts to prevent and counter these threats, the UN must show strong leadership. In particular, member states and the wider UN system need support on the “whole of society” approach recommended in the Secretary-General’s Plan of Action to Prevent Violent Extremism.
The inclusion of a gender perspective and the need to listen to women’s voices when governments formulate their plans and strategies are inherent to the ‘whole of society’ approach.
The meeting will build on the existing knowledge base, including the Secretary-General’s Plan of Action, the GCTF/OSCE Good Practices on Women and Countering Violent Extremism, the Global Study on UNSC resolution 1325 and the vast amount of research that has been carried out within the fields of women, peace and security, and preventing and countering violent extremism (P/CVE), as well as women’s networks.
