Objectives and structure of the workshop

Presented by Johann Bell

Purpose

• Transfer results of the recent vulnerability assessment for the fisheries and aquaculture sector

• Identify priority adaptations to reduce the risks of climate change and capitalise on opportunities

Background documents

Documents de reference

What you will learnProjected changes to

atmospheric and oceanic conditions

Ecosystems supporting fish

Fish stocks

Implications for economic development, food security and

livelihoods

Adaptations and policies to reduce threats and capitalise on

opportunities

What you will learn• Reasons to combine adaptations

to climate change with those for disaster risk management (DRM)

• Integration of adaptations and policies into national plans and strategies

• Possible sources of assistance from development partners

Climate change scenarios

A2 (High)

B1 (Low)

Year

Global emissions are tracking above A2 scenario

2035 2050 2100

Vulnerability framework• For effects of projected changes on fish

habitats and stocks

Likelihood and confidence

Scientific understanding in support of a conclusion

Probability that a projection will occur based on expert opinion
