Climate risk management has become a national priority for many countries in Asia and Africa, such as
Bangladesh, Zambia, and Malawi, with high vulnerability to climate impacts. Bangladesh is vulnerable to
heatwaves, erratic and intense rains, and extremes such as cyclones and floods, while Zambia and Malawi are
vulnerable to increasing frequency and intensity of floods and droughts together with rising temperatures.
Climate information and advisory services have supported operational and strategic risk management
across various food systems, but they remain underinvested in aquaculture and largely unexplored in
fisheries. As such, enhancing these services for aquaculture at scale and exploring such systems for
fisheries are critically needed to de-risk value chains and build the resilience of the aquatic food systems
sector. The capacity to deliver and access these services is highly uneven and inadequate across the
aquatic food sector economy in the Global South.
