At the United Nations Ocean Conference (UNOC) held in June, 2025 in France, the Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) of the United Nations demonstrated its leading voice on marine and ocean issues, especially on sustainable fisheries and aquaculture for resilient livelihood and "Blue Transformation".
Which of the following combinations about the "Four Betters" proposed by FAO for "Blue Transformation" is correct ?
Show answer
Answer: B. FAO's Blue Transformation roadmap is tied to the 'four betters' of FAO's Strategic Framework 2022-31: better production, better nutrition, better environment and a better life, leaving no one behind.
Watch for: In an ocean context, students expect 'better ocean' to be one of the four.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. Wrong because the fourth 'better' is better life, not better ocean.
- C. Wrong because 'better coral reefs' is not one of FAO's four betters.
- D. Wrong because estuaries and mangroves are not part of the four betters.
