Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetFAO’s work on Climate Change. Fisheries, Aquaculture and Climate Change: The role of fisheries and aquaculture in the implementation of the Paris agreement 2016Billions of people around the world depend on fisheries and aquaculture for food, essential nutrients and livelihoods. The sector is already under stress from pollution, habitat degradation, overfishing and harmful practices; climate variability, climate change and ocean acidification represent additional threats to the sector and dependent communities. FAO and its partners are working together to reduce vulnerabilities of those most dependent on fisheries and aquaculture for their existence by designing and implementing suitable adaptation and mitigation measures. FAO and its partners are working at finding solutions to meet an ever-growing demand for fish in an era of limited natural resources, build resilience and unlock the Blue Growth potential of the aquatic systems.

MeetingNear East and North Africa Forests and Climate Change: Climate Induced Forest Disturbances, Building Resilience and Boosting Implementation of Countries Nationally Determined Contributions (N)DCs FO:NEFRC/2021/3
25th Session for the Near East Forestry and Range Commission
2021Also available in:
The Near East and North Africa (NENA) region is dry, hot and scarce in water and arable land resources, with arid, semi-arid to desert conditions and limited tree cover. Yet the 74.7 million hectares of forest and other wooded land, together with rangelands, produce a range of goods and ecosystem services that are essential to rural livelihoods. The region is extremely vulnerable to climate change through heat and drought, and national adaptation priorities focus on crops, forests and water resources. This document describes key challenges related to forests and climate change in the region, and how FAO is working with Members to address them. These include: • Forest and wildland fires, and FAO support for the NENA Regional Forest Wildland Fire Network (NENFIRE) • Forest pests and diseases, and support for the Near East Network on Forest Health and Invasive Species (NENFHIS) • Capacity needs for tracking climate change mitigation and adaptation progress, and support through the FAO/GEF project “Building global capacity to increase transparency in the forest sector” Tackling these interlinked challenges related to climate change is a prerequisite for strengthening the resilience of the forest ecosystems and the communities that depend on them.
