NEW FAO/FI PUBLICATION
Dear All,
The following FAO/FI publication (Vulnerability assessment methodologies: an annotated bibliography for climate change and the fisheries and aquaculture sector) has been printed and was released on the FAO Web site. It is hopefully of use to those of you working on climate change issues in the Caribbean.
Please see below.
We would very much appreciate if you could bring this circular to the attention of interested parties you may be in contact with.
Kind regards,
Raymon van Anrooy
[cid:image003.png@01CE6105.C3024640]A comprehensive annotated bibliography of the most contemporary and seminal
vulnerability methodologies from over the past decade, focusing particularly on vulnerability to
climate change in the fisheries and aquaculture sector. The bibliography was developed as a
background paper for an international expert workshop in Namibia in 2013 on climate change
vulnerability methodologies, coordinated by FAO. A significant degree of confusion and debate
surrounds vulnerability assessments and the methods through which vulnerability should be
measured in order to provide an accurate assessment that can feed into effective polices and
strategies for adaptation and vulnerability reduction. A clear and structured approach is presented in
the annotated bibliography by dividing the paper into seven main sections: reviews, frameworks,
drivers of change, scale, fishery and farming ecosystem, species and vessels, and special
considerations. A comprehensive range of vulnerability methodologies has been incorporated in the
annotated bibliography, crossing a multitude of scales, approaches and disciplines. The paper
identifies a number of important connections and links within the literature on vulnerability -
developed through the use of subsections and by cross-referencing throughout the bibliography -
further assisting in the clarification of vulnerability methodologies.
