Impacts of climate variability and change on fishery-based livelihoods
Type: Journal Article
There is increasing concern over the consequences of global warming for the food security and livelihoods of the world’s 36million fisherfolk and the nearly 1.5 billion consumers who rely on fish for more than 20% of their ...
Compound climate risks threaten aquatic food system benefits
Type: Journal Article
Aquatic foods from marine and freshwater systems are critical to the nutrition, health, livelihoods, economies and cultures of billions of people worldwide, but climate-related hazards may compromise their ability to provide ...
Fuelling the decline in UK fishing communities?
Type: Journal Article
Volatile fuel prices are a threat to the viability of UK fishing communities. The economic and social impacts of rising fuel costs for fishers and communities in southwest England are examined. Fuel prices doubled between ...
Can marine fisheries and aquaculture meet fish demand from a growing human population in a changing climate?
Type: Journal Article
Expansion in the world's human population and economic development will increase future demand for fish products. As global fisheries yield is constrained by ecosystems productivity and management effectiveness, per capita ...
Attributes of climate resilience in fisheries: From theory to practice
Type: Journal Article
In a changing climate, there is an imperative to build coupled social-ecological systems—including fisheries—that can withstand or adapt to climate stressors. Although resilience theory identifies system attributes that ...
The natural history and fisheries ecology of Lake Chilwa, southern Malawi
Type: Journal Article
Lake Chilwa produces between zero and 24,000 metric tons of fish per year, making it one of the most productive but variable lakes in Africa. The size of the lake varies seasonally and among years, sometimes drying completely. ...
Morals and climate decision-making: insights from social and behavioural sciences
Type: Journal Article
Decisions about climate change are inherently moral. They require making moral judgements about important values and the desired state of the present and future world. Hence there are potential benefits in explaining climate ...
Limits to resilience from livelihood diversification and social capital in lake social-ecological systems
Type: Journal Article
Diversity of both social networks and livelihood sources plays a central role in determining the sustainability of natural resource use and resilience of social–ecological systems, not least in resource-dependent economies. ...
Model-based scenarios for achieving net negative emissions in the food system
Type: Journal Article
Most climate mitigation scenarios point to a combination of GHG emission reductions and CO2 removal for avoiding the most dangerous climate change impacts this century. The global food system is responsible for ~1/3 of GHG ...
Diverse pathways for climate resilience in marine fishery systems
Type: Journal Article
Both the ecological and social dimensions of fisheries are being affected by climate change. As a result, policymakers, managers, scientists and fishing communities are seeking guidance on how to holistically build resilience ...
