Synopsis (short abstract) The Addressing Fisheries and Aquaculture in National Adaptation Plans Supplement provides technical guidance on the integration of fisheries and aquaculture in the formulation and implementation of National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) and complements FAO’s Addressing agriculture, forestry and fisheries in National Adaptation Plans – Supplementary guidelines (referred to as NAP-Ag Guidelines, FAO 2017a). It aims to draw the attention of policy makers and government officers responsible for NAP planning and processes generally, as well as fisheries and aquaculture officers at country level, specifically. It collates and analyses relevant information from fisheries and aquaculture to support the sector’s ability to take part in national climate change adaptation planning processes.

    The 'Addressing forestry and agroforestry in National Adaptation Plans: Supplementary guidelines' provide specific guidance for national adaptation planning in the forestry sector. They are intended to be used by national planners and decision–makers working on climate change issues in developing countries and authorities and experts who are contributing to climate change adaptation and NAP formulation and implementation.

    National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) serve as vital policy instruments for guiding countries’ efforts to reduce vulnerability and build adaptive capacity and resilience to climate change impacts. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) plays a central role in supporting adaptation efforts and advancing NAPs globally. Through technical support, institutional support, improving access to finance, and the provision of knowledge products and tools, FAO supports developing countries in the formulation and implementation of NAPs that increase resilience in agrifood systems across FAO mandate areas (agriculture, forestry and fisheries).

    The direct and indirect effects of climate change are altering aquatic ecosystems, driving changes in physical, chemical and biological processes, including changes in the distribution and abundance of species, and in the frequency and/or severity of extreme events. These changes are likely to have implications for fisheries and aquaculture, and could consequently impact food security and the livelihoods of millions of people worldwide. Evidence indicates that climate change impacts will be geographically uneven, calling for significant tailored support to assist developing countries, many of which are likely to be negatively affected the most, with how to make positive and cohesive adaptations that ultimately moderate potential loss and damage, or help them benefit from opportunities associated with climate change. Effective adaptation is a process of positive adjustment of policies, resource management, and associated systems, as well as building the capacity of communities and the private sector to prepare for and respond to climate change impacts. Against this background, the project aimed to improve the capacity of three selected countries, the Philippines, Saint Lucia and South Africa, to develop and implement effective climate change adaptation plans and actions that promoted socio economic development in the fisheries and aquaculture sector.
