Building adaptive capacity to climate change; approaches applied in five diverse fisheries settings
Type: Brief
Climate change poses a range of risks to coastal and inland rural communities in the global tropics. People living within these communities depend directly on physical and natural environments for income, food and their ...
A framework for understanding climate change impacts on coral reef social-ecological systems
Type: Journal Article
Corals and coral-associated species are highly vulnerable to the emerging effects of global climate change. The widespread degradation of coral reefs, which will be accelerated by climate change, jeopardizes the goods and ...
Gender equality in climate policy and practice hindered by assumptions
Type: Journal Article
Gender has a powerful influence on people’s experience of, and resilience to, climate change. Global climate change policy is committed to tackling gender inequalities in mitigation and adaptation. However, progress is ...
Accelerating climate resilience of aquatic food systems
Type: Brief
Climate change impacts on aquatic food systems place vulnerable communities with limited adaptive capacities at most risk. Policy and investment interventions require a positive bias in favor of the most vulnerable.
Building ...
Inequality and the Biosphere
Type: Journal Article
Rising inequalities and accelerating global environmental change pose two of the most pressing challenges of the twenty-first century. To explore how these phenomena are linked, we apply a social-ecological systems perspective ...
Climate change and our ailing oceans

Infographics on effect of climate change on our oceans.
Escaping the perfect storm of simultaneous climate change impacts on agriculture and marine fisheries
Type: Journal Article
Climate change can alter conditions that sustain food production and availability, with cascading consequences for food security and global economies. Here, we evaluate the vulnerability of societies to the simultaneous ...
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 ...
Predicting the impacts and socio-economic consequences of climate change on global marine ecosystems and fisheries: the QUEST_Fish framework
Type: Book Chapter
Climate change is accelerating and is already affecting the marine environment. Estimating the effects of climate change on the production of fish resources, and their dependent societies, is complex because of: difficulties ...
Annotated bibliography on the economic effects of global climate change on fisheries
Type: Book
This annotated bibliography includes 141 references from 1966 to 2006. It reflects the thrust of past research which has focused largely on temperate and developed areas, since studies focusing on developing countries/regions ...
