Report of the FAO/PaCFA Expert Workshop on Assessing Climate Change Vulnerability in Fisheries and Aquaculture: Available Methodologies and their Relevance for the Sector
The purpose of the global Expert Workshop on Assessing Climate Change Vulnerability in Fisheries and Aquaculture: Available Methodologies and their Relevance for the Sector was to review latest stages in research on, and the application of, climate variability and change vulnerability methodologies. It also provided an opportunity to begin a common reflection on what role these methodologies can have in planning policies and strategies to best cope with climate change impacts on fisheries and aq uaculture. Making the link between expert advice and practical use of vulnerability methodologies from around the globe set the scene for fruitful discussions on how to make the best use of the existing information, how to prioritize the filling of gaps and how to develop a common understanding on the effectiveness of such knowledge in relation to policy and management actions and programmes. As vulnerability methodologies are a function of different factors (vulnerability of what and of whom to what), the workshop required experts from across the natural and social sciences disciplines and from both inland and marine capture fisheries and aquaculture. These examined current methodologies for conducting vulnerability assessments and provided best practices on how to develop and undertake a vulnerability assessment for incorporation into the design of adaptation programmes in fisheries and aquaculture in the face of climate change.
