Fisheries in Paris–and an international scholar’s life history
By Diego Sancho
Paris tends to relate to fisheries through its gourmet cuisine, which every so often includes fish. However, in December 2015, Paris was the epicenter of the renowned United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP 21), which aimed at setting a target to curb Carbon emissions at a global scale. Dr. William Cheung, assistant professor at University of British Columbia, and Science Director of the NF-UBC Neureus Program, linked Paris to fisheries in a different way; his presentation discussed the global and regional benefits for marine fisheries if the Paris Agreement’s target for maximum carbon emissions on a global scale is met.
