No results found.The Joint EIFAAC/ICES WGEEL met in 2012 in ICES HQ, Copenhagen, Denmark. ICES has provided advice on eel since 1999. Following long-term declines in recruits (e.g. glass eel since 1980, yellow eel since 1960s) and landings (since 1960s), the urgent compilation of a management plan was recommended, aiming at a recovery of the stock. Suggested eel-specific management targets were based on precautionary reasoning and general considerations. In 2007, the EU adopted the Eel Regulation, which led to t he development of Eel Management Plans by 2009. Implementation of these plans has generated much more data, and further research studies have been executed. Reporting to the EU in 2012 by Member States on their post-evaluation of the implementation of the first three years of the Regulation will enable the first compilation of the implemented management actions and the stock indicators. This should facilitate the planned post-evaluation by ICES of the international eel stock. The Terms of Refere nce for the 2012 WGEEL was framed with this approach in mind. The WGEEL meeting was organized on a general agreed agenda and task based meetings with discussion plenary sessions. The report comprises six main chapters in two sections, the first section addresses data, trends and information for current advice in four chapters, the second section addresses International Stock Assessment, the planning for the review of reported local stock assessments and stock indicators, delivered by EU Member S tates, including a preliminary assessment of the information currently available to the WGEEL. A final third section in the report summaries other areas of WGEEL activity. -
BookletHigh-profileFAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022The FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 was endorsed by FAO Council in June 2022. This new strategy replaces the previous strategy from 2017 to better FAO's climate action with the Strategic Framework 2022-2031, and other FAO strategies that have been developed since then. The Strategy was elaborated following an inclusive process of consultation with FAO Members, FAO staff from headquarters and decentralized offices, as well as external partners. It articulates FAO's vision for agrifood systems by 2050, around three main pillars of action: at global and regional level, at country level, and at local level. The Strategy also encourages key guiding principles for action, such as science and innovation, inclusiveness, partnerships, and access to finance.
