Purpose

• Transfer results of the recent vulnerability
  assessment
• Answer the question how could climate change
  affect national plans for fisheries?
• Identify priority adaptations to reduce risks and
  capitalise on opportuntiies

National plans

• Maximise economic benefits from tuna
• Provide fresh fish at low cost for a growing
  population
• Create more livelihoods based on fisheries and
  aquaculture

What we will discuss
Projected changes to atmospheric and oceanic
conditions
Ecosystems supporting fish

• Fish stocks/aquaculture species

• Implications for economic development, food
  security and livelihoods

• Adaptations and policies to reduce threats and
  capitalise on opportunities

9
Climate change scenarios

Global emissions are tracking above A2 scenario
A2 (High)
B1 (Low)
Year
2035 2050 2100
10
Vulnerability framework

• For effects of projected changes on fish
  habitats, fish stocks and aquaculture species

11
Likelihood and confidence
Probability that a projection will occur based on
expert opinion
Scientific understanding in support of a
conclusion

Session 2 Understanding projected changes to surface climate and the ocean Session 2 Understanding projected changes to surface climate and the ocean
10h30 Observed and projected changes to surface climate
10h50 Observed and projected changes to the ocean
11h20 Breakout groups to discuss changes to the climate and ocean
13
Discussion points - breakout groups

• What did you find most interesting about the
  talk?
• Is there anything you did not understand clearly?
• What connection can you see to your work or
  livelihood?
