Workshops

• Workshops on climate change and adaptive farming are vital for scientists and researchers as they foster interdisciplinary collaboration and knowledge sharing
• This enables scientists and researchers to stay updated with the latest research, tools, and techniques for assessing and addressing climate-related challenges in fisheries sector
• Knowledge exchange helps develop sustainable agricultural practices, ensures food security, and reduces the sector's greenhouse gas emissions, contributing significantly to global efforts in combating climate change and enhancing the resilience of wetland ecosystem

Major recommendations (concluding workshop 2023)

• Climate change research on inland open water fisheries needs to be prioritised in the context of emerging challenges of climatic anomalies
• Detailed study on carbon budgeting needs to be taken up considering fate and cycling of different forms of carbon in aquatic ecosystems
• A policy document has to be prepared for climate smart inland open water fisheries
• A database has to be prepared for effective dissemination of vast knowledgebase created under climate research
• Advisory on region-specific adaptation/mitigation strategies may be prioritized
• Research must adopt integrated modeling approach as climate change impacts are complex, interactive and challenging
