Book (series)Terminal evaluation of the project “Reducing vulnerability and increasing adaptive capacity to respond to impacts of climate change and variability for sustainable livelihoods in agriculture sector in Nepal”
Project code: GCP/NEP/070/LDF GEF ID: 5111
2020Also available in:
No results found.The project’s goal was to support Nepal’s agriculture sector to become climate resilient by promoting urgent and immediate adaptation measures and integration of adaptation priorities outlined in the National Adaptation Programme of Action (NAPA) into agriculture sectorial policies, plans, programmes and local actions. The final evaluation found that the relevant institutional structures in Nepal are now technically capable of incorporating climate change adaptation in agriculture sector decision-making. However, project districts could not benefit from strengthened staff capacity due to scattering of institutional memory caused by staff transfers and relocation in federal, provincial and local governments. Evidence of climate change adaptation related awareness raising and knowledge management activities were apparent in project districts. However, wider dissemination of knowledge and awareness raising products for replication and up-scaling of the project remains yet to be achieved adequately. The project has contributed in economic and social empowerment of most vulnerable Farmer’s Field School group members and specifically the women. However, a robust agriculture sector support mechanism will be required to sustain the impact in future. -
Book (stand-alone)Implications of climate change on fisheries and aquaculture: Challenges for adaptation and mitigation in the Asia-Pacific region 2011
Also available in:
No results found.It is now widely recognized that the effects of climate change will impact the fisheries sector and result in increased uncertainty in the supply of fish from capture fisheries and aquaculture. The warming of the sea surface, rivers and lakes, changing precipitation, water salinity and ocean acidity and sea level rise will affect marine, coastal and inland environments. Food quality may also be threatened with increased risk of species invasions and the spreading of vector-borne diseases. Positi ve impacts like access to new species and markets may also arise as a result of climate change. This technical workshop was convened in Kathmandu, Nepal from 24 to 26 May 2011 to review mitigation and adaptation strategies for the fisheries and aquaculture sectors in Asia and the Pacific. The workshop brought together 50 participants from member countries and partner organizations to share available information and knowledge, and discuss and analyze the specific potential impacts of different ty pes of climate change patters on marine capture fisheries, inland capture fisheries, coastal aquaculture and inland aquaculture. Recommendations are included in the report covering, among others, advocacy for increased policy emphasis on climate change adaptation and mitigation strategies in the sector, strengthening of governance, and use of integrated management approaches and monitoring tools. -
Book (series)Adaptive management of fisheries in response to climate change
FAO Fisheries and Aquaculture Technical Paper No. 667
2021Also available in:
No results found.This report aims to accelerate climate change adaptation implementation in fisheries management throughout the world. It showcases how flexibility can be introduced in the fisheries management cycle in order to foster adaptation, strengthen the resilience of fisheries, reduce their vulnerability to climate change, and enable managers to respond in a timely manner to the projected changes in the dynamics of marine resources and ecosystems. The publication includes a set of good practices for climate-adaptive fisheries management that have proven their effectiveness and can be adapted to different contexts, providing a range of options for stakeholders including the fishing industry, fishery managers, policymakers and others involved in decision-making. These good practices were linked to one or more of the three common climate-related impacts on fisheries resources: distributional change; productivity change; and species composition change. Therefore, these three impacts can serve as practical entry points to guide decision-makers in identifying good practice adaptation measures suitable for their local contexts. These good practices are based upon transferable experiences and lessons learned from the thirteen case studies across the globe and hopefully will contribute to greater uptake and implementation of climate-adaptive fisheries management measures on the ground.
