The marine and fisheries sector supports livelihoods in communities around the world. Helping these industries cope with climate change impacts, while also reducing their own effect on climate change, requires outreach to fishing operations of all sizes ranging from community-based fishing families to large commercial fishing fleets. Transferring technology in the fisheries sector both reduces vulnerability to climate change risks while increasing food security and enhancing the overall health and well-being of fishing communities. Through the CTCN network you can access a range of climate adaptation technologies ranging from open water to closed-loop indoor and shoreline aquaculture fish farming practices. Below you will find related publications, partners, CTCN technical assistance, technologies and other information for exploring this topic further.
This interactive map of 51 climate risk and adaptation profiles offers a platform to guide access, synthesis and analysis of relevant country data and information for disaster risk reduction and adaptation to climate change. The profiles aim to provide a quick reference for development practitioners so that they can better integrate climate resilience in development planning and operations.
PacGeo is an open access geospatial data repository for the Pacific Region providing premier geophysical, geodetic, and marine spatial data sets. Developed through collaboration between the GeoScience Division of Secretariat of the Pacific Community (GSD/SPC), University of Sydney, Geoscience Australia (GA), and GRID-Arendal. The development of PacGeo was combined with targeted training and capacity building activities conducted at the Pacific Maritime Boundary Working Group Meetings, held twice yearly at the University of Sydney and at other ad hoc events in the region.
Given Vanuatu"s vulnerability status with regards to climate change and sea-level rise, the National Adaptation Programmes of Action (NAPA) served as an avenue to raise awareness and understanding at all levels in society, with respect to vulnerability and adaptation issues of greatest significance to the country. The initiatives that were undertaken to identify and implement appropriate activities to be implemented in priority sectors, in order to enhance the resilience of Vanuatu to climate change (including extreme events), through adaptation, were identified and documented.
