Krill fishing in Antarctica has surged to a record 518,568 tons in the first seven months of the 2024-25 season, nearing the 620,000-ton limit that triggers an automatic fishery closure. This boom follows the failure of international governments to agree on a new management plan that would have mandated fishing area distribution and a large marine reserve, resulting in unrestricted fishing in sensitive areas.

What are the economic and environmental incentives driving the development and implementation of this sustainable festival ground solution?

The mats, sourced from the "Klimafarm" project, utilize locally-sourced materials where possible, except for the coconut fibers. The Klimafarm project aims to explore sustainable agricultural uses for peatlands and develop marketable products from them. The hope is that generating income from peatlands will incentivize the rewetting and restoration of more agricultural land into peat bogs.

How does the insufficient funding for smallholder farmers contribute to global food insecurity and mass migration?

The report highlights the vulnerability of smallholder farmers, who produce up to 70% of Africa's food but receive less than 1% of climate funding. This insufficient investment exacerbates their poverty and contributes to food insecurity, causing them to migrate in search of livelihoods. The interconnectedness of conflict, climate change, and food insecurity is a key driver of migration.
