The workshop was the first of two; the second will focus on Southern and Eastern Africa. Together they form part of the consultative process of Component C of the NEPAD-FAO Fish Programme (NFFP). The workshop addressed three main questions in respect to the fisheries and aquaculture sector and the impacts of disasters and climate change: (i) what are the impacts on and the vulnerabilities of the sector, (ii) how has the sector adapted and w hat can we learn from this, and (iii) what else can be done (and how) to reduce vulnerability and strengthen resilience? The workshop recommended adaptation actions at local, national and regional levels based on practical experiences and examples of actions that have worked or not in the past. The workshop outputs will be used to complement the mapping and gap-analysis paper towards a work plan for Component C of the NEPAD-FAO Fish Programme (NFFP).The combined findings of this workshop, the forthcoming workshop for Southern and Eastern Africa and the mapping and gap analysis will be well placed to feed into the pan African process of elaborating a comprehensive fisheries reform strategy and ensuring that climate change and disaster impacts are addressed for the fisheries and aquaculture sector. -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetL’action de la FAO face au changement climatique. Les pêches, aquaculture et les changements climatiques: Le rôle des pêches et de l'aquaculture dans la mise en œuvre de l'accord de Paris 2016Les océans et les eaux continentales ont la capacité de séquestrer une quantité de carbone cinq fois supérieure à celle absorbée par les forêts tropicales, et possèdent une fonction importante en tant que pépinières, lieux d'alimentation et de reproduction pour de nombreuses espèces. Favoriser les pêches durables et les écosystèmes sains contribuera à atténuer et à réduire les effets des changements et de la variabilité climatiques et à déverrouiller le potentiel de croissance bleue des systèmes aquatiques conformément aux principes du Code de conduite pour une pêche responsable et ses instruments affiliés.
