🐟 Ongoing #FisheriesSubsidies negotiations at the @wto.org are building on the 2022 Agreement on Fisheries Subsidies – known as “Fish 1”. #Fish1 bans subsidies when they are the most harmful to marine life & coastal communities’ livelihoods. 🪸 🏝️ 🧵 [1/6]

Looking forward to this exchange on exactly the question that’s not getting enough airtime this week: what does a trade war mean for those not (yet) in it, in particular for developing countries?
