MeetingReport of the regional consultation to build resilience of aquaculture and fisheries in Asia-Pacific. Thirty-fifth session of the Asia-Pacific Fishery Commission (APFIC)
Cebu, the Philippines, 11-13 May 2018
2018Also available in:
No results found.Fisheries and aquaculture contribute significantly to the economic growth of countries in the Asia-Pacific region. The sector also contributes to food and nutrition security and livelihoods of an estimated 170 million directly and indirectly engaged in the value chains in fisheries and aquaculture production. Capture fisheries production has stagnated in the last 2 decades, while aquaculture production continued to increase and by 2014 exceeded production from capture fisheries in the Asia Pacific region. On the other hand, countries in the region are identified as among the most vulnerable to climate change impacts that will significantly affect the fisheries and aquaculture production chains. The region, which is home to more than 90 percent of the global population, also has the greatest exposure to risks related to extreme climatic events including tropical cyclones, storm surges and resulting coastal flooding on one hand, and extended droughts on the other hand. Hence, sustainable fisheries and aquaculture development in the region is of vital importance and continues to be a significant development challenge. -
MeetingGEF 7 Ideas note for fisheries and aquaculture. Thirty-fifth session of the Asia-Pacific Fishery Commission (APFIC)

2018Also available in:
No results found.Through the Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries and Aquaculture management process, FAO will provide the structured and participatory processes to enable governments, fishery value chain actors, NGO and fisheries- and aquaculture-dependent communities to identify and prioritize risks to ecosystem well-being, human well-being and enabling governance and to identify the changes required to meet their long-term goals. The EAF/EAA provides stakeholders with the tools to implement agreed-upon actions and to monitor and evaluate the impacts of management actions on their fisheries and aquaculture objectives. -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetSustainable saline agriculture for climate adaptation and mitigation: A call for action 2023
Also available in:
No results found.Saline agriculture is gradually being recognized as a response to the global challenge of salinization aggravated by climate change. The current document is the result of a collaboration between the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the Dutch Ministry of Agriculture, Nature and Food Quality, along with the Wageningen University & Research (WUR), the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (VU) and the Asian Development Bank (ADB), which led to a session dedicated to sustainable saline agriculture as a response to climate change. It was held at the Water Pavilion of the 26th Conference of Parties (COP26) of 2021. Further exchanges between these parties took place, leading to a commitment to advance saline agriculture. This document calls for a dynamic and inclusive international collaboration through partnerships to accelerate the development of sustainable and climate-smart agriculture on saline lands, and proposes the key steps that have to be taken to further the multilateral actions on saline agriculture at several levels.
