    The FAO Expert Consultation Workshop on the “Development of methodologies for the global assessment of fish stock status” took place in Rome, Italy, from 4-6 February 2019. The overall objective of the workshop was to present to a group of experts in stock assessment, fishery management and policy development a new tool (now called sraplus) that can be used to assess the status of currently unassessed stocks. More in detail, participants were asked to i) review the technical design, soundness and practical applicability of the new methodology, ii) evaluate its performance with simulation data and real fisheries data, iii) discuss its advantages and disadvantages as well as any necessary adjustments, and iv) design a plan for steps forward towards its application in global fish stock assessment. The workshop participants contributed in their individual capacities to the discussions which resulted in a set of recommendations on how to improve the tool and the data that is provided to the assessments.

    As the two laws, The Framework Act on Agriculture and Fisheries, Rural Community and Food Industry and The Creation and Management of Forest Resources Act, were revised in 2015 and 2019, respectively, the Korean government made it mandatory for Korea Forest Service to report the results of climate change impact and vulnerability assessment on forest sector. For implementing the above duty, the National Institute of Forest Science (NIFoS) has categorized the forest sector to eighteen detailed sectors and established monitoring framework to assess the climate change impacts since 2015.
    This study aims to develop appropriate methodology and framework for assessment of climate change impact and vulnerability on forest sector in Korea by reviewing what the NIFoS has conducted in comparison with the previous cases in the USA, Canada and the UK. To achieve this, this study first clarifies the ultimate goals of assessment and categorizes assessment areas for each detailed sector. Then, by reviewing the major factors on vulnerability assessment used in the Adaptation Partners Frameworks (USA), the Climate Change Response Framework (USA), the Canadian Council of Forest Ministers Framework (Canada), and the Climate Change Risk Assessment (UK), this study draws the possible stepwise check list with the hope of producing appropriate results on climate change impact and vulnerability which can be utilized in the stage of mainstreaming adaptation in forest sector. The tentative framework drawn from this study contains the considerations about where we need to go and how to go for achieving adaptation.
    This study is expected to contribute to establish the essential basis for supporting decision making for finding actual tools to conserve and enhance forest ecosystem services and sustain life of human being under climate change pressure.

    The United National Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO), at the request of the member nations and the world community, regularly reports on status and trends in the world’s forest resources. This paper briefly describes the methods used in past surveys, describes the data and methods to be used to complete the 2000 Forest Resource Assessments, and proposes a follow-on continuous world forest survey system to enable FAO to provide the necessary information on a permanent basis. This paper is based on a background document and on the results of an Expert Advisory Meeting on FRA 2000 held in Rome, Italy on March 6-10, 2000.
