Synopsis (short abstract) FAO is an active member of the Global Partnership for Climate, Fisheries and Aquaculture (PaCFA), a voluntary global level initiative among international organizations and sector bodies with a common concern for climate change interactions with global waters and living resources and their social and economic consequences. An immediate aim of the Partnership is to highlight key issues to alert and inform decision makers and climate change negotiators at UNFCCC meetings. From this, global, national and local responses can be formulated and implemented for adaptation and mitigation in aquatic ecosystems and for fisheries and aquaculture and in national and local responses to climate change.
