Impacts of climate change on fisheries and aquaculture Synthesis of current knowledge, adaptation and mitigation options
Year: 2018 Language: english Author: FOOD AND AGRICULTURE ORGANIZATION OF THE UNITED NATIONS Genre: Technical book Format: PDF Quality: eBook Pages count: 654 Description: The 2015 Paris Climate Agreement recognizes the need for effective and progressive responses to the urgent threat of climate change, through mitigation and adaptation measures, while taking into account the particular vulnerabilities of food production systems. The inclusion of adaptation measures in the fisheries and aquaculture sector is currently hampered by a widespread lack of targeted analyses of the sector’s vulnerabilities to climate change and associated risks, as well as the opportunities and responses available. This report provides the most up-to-date information on the disaggregated impacts of climate change for marine and inland fisheries, and aquaculture, in the context of poverty alleviation and the differential dependency of countries on fish and fishery resources. The work is based on model projections, data analyses, as well as national, regional and basin-scale expert assessments. The results indicate that climate change will lead to significant changes in the availability and trade of fish products, with potentially important geopolitical and economic consequences, especially for those countries most dependent on the sector.

Description: The 2015 Paris Climate Agreement recognizes the need for effective and progressive
responses to the urgent threat of climate change, through mitigation and adaptation
measures, while taking into account the particular vulnerabilities of food production
systems. The inclusion of adaptation measures in the fisheries and aquaculture sector
is currently hampered by a widespread lack of targeted analyses of the sector’s
vulnerabilities to climate change and associated risks, as well as the opportunities
and responses available. This report provides the most up-to-date information on the
disaggregated impacts of climate change for marine and inland fisheries, and aquaculture,
in the context of poverty alleviation and the differential dependency of countries on fish
and fishery resources. The work is based on model projections, data analyses, as well as
national, regional and basin-scale expert assessments. The results indicate that climate
change will lead to significant changes in the availability and trade of fish products,
with potentially important geopolitical and economic consequences, especially for those
countries most dependent on the sector.
