Feeding an expected global population of 9 billion by 2050 is a daunting challenge that is engaging hundreds of millions of farmers, food processors, traders, researchers, technical experts, and leaders the world over. Fish and other aquatic products from aquaculture can and will play a major role in meeting the dietary demands of all people, while also meeting the food security needs of the poorest. To realize the maximum contributions of the aquaculture sector toward achieving the targets set by the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Agenda 2030, coordinated and accelerated actions are required. Not only must these actions increase sustainable production, but also address the broader value chain, markets, and decent employment. Recognizing the critical importance of aquaculture, and the need to exchange and discuss reliable information to further enhance its contribution to sustainable development, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), at the request of its Members, collaborated with the Network of Aquaculture Centres in Asia-Pacific and the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs of the People’s Republic of China, to organize the Global Conference on Aquaculture Millennium +20 (GCA +20), 22–25 September 2021, in Shanghai, the People's Republic of China. Under the theme “Aquaculture for food and sustainable development”, the GCA +20 aimed to bring stakeholders from government, business, academia, and civil society together to identify the policy and technology innovations, investment opportunities and fruitful areas of cooperation in aquaculture for food and sustainable development. A key output from the GCA +20 – the Shanghai Declaration on Aquaculture for Food and Sustainable Development – highlights the principles and strategic pathways to maximize sustainable aquaculture in achieving the SDGs, with a special focus on “Leaving no one behind”.

There are few resources and books for professionals within the patient safety sector that use case studies to model the practical application of theories of patient safety incident investigation. Exploring these theories, this text brings together contributors from a variety of academic and healthcare professions, alongside those with lived experience, to help you understand some of the emerging theories of safety science and their practical application. The NHS’s approach to incident reporting in investigations, the Patient Safety Incident Response Framework (PSIRF), has given rise to new-found opportunities and freedom of investigation and incident management. This book aims to explore emerging safety sciences by leading experts and the practical application of them in differing clinical and organisational contexts. Written by people who work in patient safety, and with chapters on subjects such as System Engineering Initiative for Patient Safety (SEIPS), AcciMaps and Human Factors, this book is for everyone with an interest in how the landscape of patient safety is changing and how to apply good practice for the reduction of avoidable harm.

Mobile technology offers an innovative and cost-effective channel for delivering a range of financial services, including mobile payments. In some jurisdictions, mobile payments simply provide a convenient option for facilitating payment transactions. In other jurisdictions, mobile payments are viewed as potentially transformative because they present an opportunity to expand access to financial services. However, as with other innovations, mobile payments raise consumer protection concerns and require robust regulatory mechanisms to address such concerns. Against this backdrop, the book adopts a typology of consumer policy tools which can be used to address the identified consumer concerns. This typology guides the enquiry into the existing consumer protection frameworks applying to mobile payments in selected jurisdictions (Canada, Kenya, and the United Kingdom). The main objective of this endeavour is to identify best practices that national authorities seeking to leverage mobile payments and similar innovations can emulate. This book will be of interest to policymakers, regulators, industry stakeholders, students, and scholars interested in the regulation of innovative financial services, particularly from a consumer protection perspective.

Climate stress testing exercises have emerged as a key tool for supervisors to assess the impact of climate-related risks on the banking system. Banks themselves are also making more and more use of climate stress testing exercises to inform required disclosures and strategic choices in the context of their climate-related risk management. The 2022 ECB climate stress test (CST) was a unique exercise in terms of its exploratory nature and learning character. The exercise acted as a catalyst for banks to start or continue working on all aspects of prudent climate stress testing. While banks have made some progress on incorporating climate-related risks into their stress testing frameworks and have delivered comprehensive and innovative information despite the prevailing challenges, the results also show that we are at the start of a long journey. There is a high level of inconsistency across banks' practices, and several areas of climate stress testing have been identified where there is need for improvement. The objective of this report is to provide banks with examples and suggestions on how to improve their climate stress testing capabilities based on identified good practices from the 2022 ECB CST and to support banks in their transitional journey. This report aims to facilitate banks' efforts to align their practices with the supervisory expectations set out in the ECB Guide on climate-related and environmental risks ("the Guide"). In particular, this report offers banks support in addressing Expectation 11 of the Guide, which focuses on the necessity to adequately incorporate climate and environmental risks in banks' stress testing frameworks. The report on good practices for climate-related and environmental risk management from the 2022 thematic review on the other hand addresses the rest of the supervisory expectations outlined in the Guide.The good practices outlined in this report should also help banks and supervisors to prepare for future CST exercises.
