"This FAO Technical Paper is aimed primarily at policymakers, fisheries managers and practitioners and has been prepared particularly with a view to assisting countries in the development of their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) to the Paris Climate Agreement, the next versions of which are to be submitted by 2020. The Technical Paper provides the most up-to-date synthesis on the impacts and risks of, and the opportunities and responses to climate change in the fisheries and aquaculture sector, in the context of poverty alleviation. It covers marine capture fisheries and their environments (Chapters 4 to 17), inland waters and their fisheries (Chapters 18,19 and 26), as well as aquaculture (Chapters 20 to 22). The Technical Paper also includes chapters on disasters and extreme events (Chapter 23) and health and food safety hazards (Chapter 24). Guidance and tools are presented for planning and implementing effective and explicit adaptation (Chapter 25), while taking into consideration the impacts on fisheries and aquaculture of potential adaptations to climate change in other sectors (Chapter 26). Mitigation is addressed in Chapter 27, which provides quantitative information on the fisheries and aquaculture sector's contributions to greenhouse gas emissions, as well as strategies and tools for mitigation"--Back cover
