    Technical study
    State of the global market for shark products 2015
    Also available in:
    No results found.
    This publication is intended to complement and inform the International Plan of Action for the Conservation and Management of Sharks, developed in 1998 to address concerns over possible negative effects of increased shark catches on vulnerable shark populations. It is also intended as a part complement to, and part continuation of, Shark Utilization, Marketing and Trade (FAO Fisheries Technical Paper No. 389), published in 1999. Much of that paper remains valid, e.g. the information on product u tilization and processing, as well as that on the biological characteristics of shark species. Consequently, the present publication focuses primarily on providing an updated picture of the world market for shark products using data that in many cases have only become available in recent years, such as origin and destination data. Where data are still lacking, an effort has been made to estimate the relevant figures through examination of the trade databases of the world’s major traders of shark products. This increased availability of data is believed to have allowed a more accurate – and up-to-date – initial evaluation of the relative importance of each country or territory, thus providing a more solid basis on which to target investigative efforts. The country-by-country assessments of shark fin trade recording practices also constitute another important area of focus that had not previously been addressed. However, given the primary objective of this study (above), those details th at are necessarily not captured in such a broad-scale review will need to be identified and elucidated in regional or country-specific studies.

    Climate-smart agriculture investments and policy implementation in Southeast Asia - Workshop report
    Chiang Mai, Thailand, 21-24 January 2025
    2025
    Also available in:
    No results found.
    Agrifood systems in Southeast Asia require an urgent sustainable transformation to combat escalating climate change impacts. They also ensure food security as well as provide livelihoods for millions of small-scale farmers and fisherfolk. There is a pressing need to prioritize targeted climate investments in agrifood systems at the country and regional levels to address climate change mitigation and adaptation opportunities for the most vulnerable people and communities.This report from the "Climate-smart agriculture investments and policy implementation in Southeast Asia" workshop outlines strategic approaches to enhance access to climate finance and implement effective policies that align with countries' national climate plans, or Nationally Determined Contributions. The workshop report highlights six country climate foresight-driven project initiatives in Cambodia, the Lao People's Democratic Republic, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand, and Viet Nam that address key climate risks and opportunities for aquaculture and fisheries sectors, rice production, and climate-smart agriculture.The document presents outcomes from the ASEAN Climate Resilience Network's tenth anniversary celebration, which has provided an inclusive platform for regional cooperation on climate-smart agriculture. Special emphasis is placed on innovative financing instruments, including the Southeast Asia Agricultural Risk Finance Facility, which is being developed to strengthen smallholder farmers' resilience against climate shocks. These approaches demonstrate pathways toward a resilient and low-emission agrifood system transformation that balances environmental sustainability with economic growth and agricultural productivity across Southeast Asia.
