Climate change and fisheries: Strengthening the capacity of fisheries communities for adaptation to climate change of policy intervention entry points

Abstract

AU-IBAR sought for a consultancy to identify policy intervention entry points to strengthen the capacity of fisheries communities for adaptation to climate change. The report identifies drivers of climate changes, including compiling and documenting the effects of CC on fisheries and aquaculture; assesses climate change adaptation and coping strategies, and establishes existing knowledge and perception, institutions and practices of fishing communities of relevance to climate-change preparedness.
