We need Global Collective Action to Succeed

President Trump’s decision to pull the USA out of the Paris Agreement effectively makes the actions on climate change even more important than ever. The Paris Agreement was signed by 195 countries, and aims to limit global warming to no more than 2 degrees Celsius, since warming beyond this point may include more uncontrollable extremes, escalating temperatures, extensive flooding, severe drought, crop failure, massive human migration and intensified ocean acidification.

With the "optimistic" future temperature scenario already renamed as a “lost opportunity” and the USA pulling out of the Paris Agreement, we who are committed to action need to intensify our efforts, renew our methods and improve our technologies to reach our goals of reducing CO2 emissions. At the same time, we need to adapt to the changes that exist already and prepare for those that are expected to come in the very near future.

ClimeFish work with climate scenarioes and adaptations in Europe until 2050, you can read more about the project and climate changes here 

Our First Annual Meeting

25th of April, 50 members from the ClimeFish team met in beautiful Crete to discuss, challenge, inform and brainstorm the results from our first year's work and to draft, plan, structure and coordinate the three remaining years of ClimeFish. Thus, extended discussions were made on how to best model, predict and evaluate the future climate effects on fisheries and aquaculture in Europe, from now on until 2050. Read more
Fieldtrip to HCMRs Research Facilities
The Hellenic Centre for Marine Research (HCMR)  is one of the partners in ClimeFish and responsible for one of our implementation case studies in the Mediterranean sea. In ClimeFish, HCMR focus on aquaculture in Greece, emphasizing on the European sea bass and the meagre. This case study is led by Nikos Papandroulakis, who is a Research Director at the IMBBC at HCMR.During Our stay at Crete, we visited their research facilities to get inspired and enlighted. Read about our field trip here.

Featured stakeholder


The Federation of Greek Maricultures (FGM) is the main stakeholder in our Greek case study. FGM represents Greek aquaculture companies that produce Mediterranean euryhaline fish species, mainly Gilthead sea bream and European sea bass.

Stakeholder actions in 2017

The first stakeholder meeting was held in Vigo in Spain, 28th of September 2016. In 2017 we continue to bring ClimeFish researchers and stakeholders closer. Meetings will be announced here.
ClimeFish in National Geographic!
Climate changes on Galician mussels are the focus of this article, where Antón A. Salgado from the Institute of Marine Research in Spain and the leader of the biological forecasting and case study leader of mussels in the North West of Spain in ClimeFish, is interviewed. Read more
How to do risks and opportunity assessment
How to measure potential risks and opportunities arising from the effects of climate change in fisheries and aquaculture? First of all it is necessary to define risk, exposure, resilience and all other concepts required to correctly determine, categorize and assess potential outcomes relevant for the production sectors. One of oure researchers, Unn Laksá from Syntesa, explains how we do this in ClimeFish.
How to work with Adaptive strategies
Developing an effective and realistic approach that allows stakeholders to develop their adaptive management plans for the three production sectors is important. Our partners at MATIS has been working to find the most suitable approach that will fit all the cases in ClimeFish. Read more about their approach.
Survey of the Lipno Lake
After the collapse of pikeperch fishery in the first decade of the new millennium in Lake Lipno, the population has started to show signs of recovery. Thus, exploitation of pikeperch has again slightly increased. ClimeFish researchers, led by Professor Jan Kubečka, will evaluate how strong the recovery has been and to what level exploitation of pikeperch may be sustainable. Read more
Facts
Do you know that poleward expansion is one of the most described effects of climate changes on wild fish stocks? And that this may result in new species to exploit in certain areas, but also to loss of livelyhood, new regulations and conflicts related to regulation plans and borders? No? In that case we highly recommend that you expand your knowledge a bit more - you can do so here

ClimeFish joined the CERES Annual Meeting

The ClimeFish coordinator, Michaela Aschan, visited the Annual Meeting of CERES in Galway the 28th to the 30th of March. On the agenda was the outcome of the projects first year and further cooperation between the two projects. Joint forces between CERES and ClimeFish will strengthen our research and results. Read about our joint meetings and wisit the CERES webpage.
