The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO)
works towards ending hunger and poverty while using precious
natural resources sustainably. The fisheries and aquaculture sector
makes substantial contributions to food security, livelihoods and
global trade. Global production of fish and other aquatic animals
continued to grow and reached 179 million tonnes in 2018, and about
59.5 million people were engaged in the primary sector of capture
fisheries and aquaculture.Fishery net exports generate
significantly more revenue for developing countries than other
agricultural commodities such as rice, coffee and tea. Millions of
people are struggling to maintain reasonable livelihoods through
the fisheries and aquaculture sector. These are the people who are
the most vulnerable to the impacts of climate change.Climate change
adds to the many threats and obstacles that already confront them
in their day-to-day lives. Particular attention must be given to
the most vulnerable if the sector is to continue to contribute to
meeting global goals of poverty reduction and food security. This
publication presents FAO's work on climate change and fisheries and
aquaculture.It includes examples of FAO's support to countries so
that they are better able to adapt to the impact of climate change
in the fisheries and aquaculture sector. It also brings together
FAO's most up-to-date knowledge on climate change, including a
portfolio of adaptation tools and measures used to support
countries' climate commitments and action plans
