Effects of Climate Change on Fishermen's Livelihoods
Rinkesh N. Wanjari, Aadil Hussain Magloo* and Zaheer Abass
Abstract
The approaching global population of 9 billion by 2050 propels a 70% surge in food demand, reshaping diets toward meats, fruits, and aquaculture. Climate change poses a threat to fisheries, endangering 1.5B reliant on fish protein. Fisheries, with significant GDP impact and 50% female participation, face crises like warming seas, GHGs, extreme weather, and eroding habitats. Strategies focus on resilient practices, yet cooperative efforts are crucial for fishing communities' sustainability amid climate challenges. Their resilience is pivotal for global food security and economic stability.
