• Sommario/riassunto: The fisheries sector is in crisis. Inappropriate subsidies to the fishing industry are a key factor responsible for worldwide fisheries depletion, overcapitalization and ecosystem degradation. There is an urgent need for an international mechanism to promote the appropriate restructuring of fisheries subsidies in order to create a more sustainable industry. In recent years the leading international forum charged with providing such a mechanism has been the World Trade Organization (WTO)1. Fisheries Governance, Subsidies and Sustainable Development 2. Fisheries Subsidies and Their Resource Impacts3. National Experiences with Subsidies, their Impacts and Reform Processes4. Emergence of an International Issue: History of Fisheries Subsidies in the WTO5. Four Key Issues at the WTO6. Conclusion and Way ForwardAnnexesIndexIntroductionPublished with the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP)This book explains why and how the reform of fisheries subsidies has become one of the most concrete and potentially successful international efforts to achieve global environmental, economic and developmental policy coherence. It describes the history and current status of the discussions at the WTO, drawing on UNEP's key documents and reflecting on the major issues. Accompanying the book is a CD-Rom containing full-text versions of the most important source material used in the publication. The book is aimed at a broad stakeholder audience, including policymakers in the fields of trade, fisheries, environmental economics and international environmental governance, as well as academics and others looking for an overview of the fisheries subsidies issue and an introduction to its technical components.
