Climate Change Vulnerability in Fisheries and Aquaculture: A Synthesis of Six Regional Studies

This technical document aims to consolidate, interpret, refine and draw conclusions from the information gathered on climate change impacts, sensitivity and adaptive capacity of fish production systems by the six case studies. The case studies targets to 1) define vulnerability to climate change by understanding potential impacts on the system, the sensitivity the current adaptive capacity, 2) identify gaps in existing knowledge in assessing the vulnerability of the system, 3) identify potential strategies for reducing vulnerability to climate change, and 4) provide policy guidance in reducing system vulnerability.
