Zusammenfassung Leseprobe Details

This paper is a review of the impacts of climate change on fisheries in Zambia. Climate change has been having a remarkable impact in several areas. One of the areas is the area of fisheries and aquaculture. The author reviewed many papers written on the topic of aquaculture and fisheries. Zambia, like many other countries, have been facing many impacts from climate change. The paper aims to provide some suggestions on the solutions to combat climate change impacts.

The variability in climate has caused a lot of problems to both marine and fresh water aquatic ecosystems. These problems have spread to terrestrial ecosystems posing problems to fresh water aquaculture, forest ecosystems as well as agricultural ecosystems. Climate change has thus become a regional and global problem causing concerns over the preservation of these ecosystems for future generations. One of the results of climate change is global warming. It has been predicted that between 2010 and 2070 the world surface temperatures will increase by between 10 C to 2.70 C. This impact will affect the world economically, socially, environmentally and ecologically. This paper reviews works by experts as well as national and international organizations on impacts of climate change on aquaculture and fisheries in Zambia. It seeks to investigate the methods of mitigating and adapting to climate change which the Zambian government and stake holder organizations have put in place and may be able to put in place. Further the paper assesses the hindrances to adaptation and mitigation of climate change impacts in Zambia.

Zusammenfassung der Kapitel (Chapter Summaries)

The introduction provides background information on Zambia's geography, population, and the significance of fisheries and aquaculture to its economy. The paper highlights the dependence on freshwater resources, the demand for fish consumption, and the role of fisheries in rural livelihoods. It also emphasizes the challenges of meeting the growing demand for fish while facing limited production.

The paper then delves into the potential impacts of climate change on fisheries and aquaculture in sub-Saharan Africa, specifically focusing on Zambia. It examines the effects of climate change on the environment and aquatic ecosystems, including increased average temperatures, impacts on primary production, and other effects on fisheries. It also explores the impacts of climate change on aquaculture in Zambia.

The chapter on climate change adaptation and mitigation strategies explores the policy framework and civil society participation in raising awareness about climate change. It then presents recommended strategies for mitigating and adapting to climate change in Zambia and sub-Saharan Africa.
