FAO-Turkey Partnership Programme on Food and Agriculture (FTPP II): Capacity Building for Sustainable Fisheries and Aquaculture Management in Central Asia, Azerbaijan and Turkey (GCP/SEC/013/TUR)
2021The virtual workshop was formulated under the project “Capacity Building for Sustainable Fisheries and Aquaculture Management in Central Asia, Azerbaijan, and Turkey (FISHCap): - GCP/SEC/013/TUR” implemented under the FAO-Turkey Partnership Programme on Food and Agriculture (FTPP II) funded by the Government of the Republic of Turkey. The event was organized on 23–24 June 2020 in two sessions in cooperation with Bogazici University’s Center for Climate Change and Policy Studies, a research centre conducting interdisciplinary research on the impacts of climate change in regions such as the Eastern Mediterranean, the Middle East, and Central Asia. The virtual workshop aimed to provide an overview of the status and impacts of climate change on aquaculture and fisheries in Central Asia and the Caucasus and to discuss potential adaptation and mitigation activities. -

Summary of the findings of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Fifth Assessment Report
2016Also available in:
This report aims to facilitate the use of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change 5th Assessment Report (IPCC AR5) by those concerned with the fisheries and aquaculture sector and their dependent communities. The extensive information within the AR5 is condensed from the fisheries and aquaculture perspective and guiding links to the relevant IPCC documents facilitating further investigation are provided. The report moves from the chemical and physical changes already observed and forecasted within the aquatic systems (inland and marine), to the implications of these changes for fisheries and aquaculture production systems. The AR5 is then reviewed for knowledge on the effects, vulnerabilities and adaptation options within the sector and their dependent communities at the continent and regional scales. The report concludes with a review of knowledge gaps from the fisheries and aquaculture perspective that would support further IPCC efforts. -

An estimated six-fold production increase, from 55,690 tonnes in 2000 to 359,790 tonnes in 2010 was recorded. This trend is expected to increase as the continent’s aquaculture operations develops and industrializes. This inevitable production increase and consequent intensification will predominantly be based on fossil fuel s. The Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the FAO have entered an agreement to improve the implementation and management of existing critical climate change gaps. The series of projects aims to improve global understanding of climate change impact on fisheries and aquaculture development and highlight regional climate change adaptation measures taken on food systems and food security across the Africa region. Together, the Consortium of International Agricultural Research Center’s WorldFi sh and FAO-RAF (Regional Africa Office) have conducted an assessment of the region’s aquaculture development and climate change impact adaptation status under two project scopes: (i) a policy review; this component presents a diagnosis of the existing/non-existing African climate change policies related to aquaculture, the sector’s resiliency and aims to lay bare a regional overview. (ii) a vulnerability assessment model exercise; this exercise utilizes numerous datasets (i.e. meteorological, aq uaculture, and socio-economic variables) and inputs from country representative deliberations from a validation workshop. The exercise simulated the vulnerability of regional pond aquaculture systems to climate change impact, however it was agreed that due to data gaps at the country level, the deliberated simulation conclusions were not conclusive and unable to guide climate change adaptation policies. More importantly, the process highlighted what was required at the national level to make mor e realistic and conclusive assessments for tangible adaptation policies. Together, the policy review and the vulnerability assessment tool demonstrated the required country level actions necessary to prioritize action areas to develop and put in place climate change impact strategies.
