Joint ICES/ NMTT Workshop exploring the establishment of a Nordic Climate Change Forum for Fisheries and Aquaculture
The purpose this one-and-a-half-day joint NMTT-ICES Workshop is to provide an
opportunity for fisheries and aquaculture stakeholders, scientists and policy makers to
discuss, exchange ideas and identify practical steps for the fisheries and aquaculture
sectors to adopt to and reduce its own contribution to climate change.
The longer-term aim is to launch the Nordic Climate Change Forum for Fisheries and
Aquaculture to provide the Nordic fisheries and aquaculture sectors with a platform and
sounding board for the exchange of knowledge, ideas and practices of how to adapt to the
new climate conditions while mitigating the sector’s own impacts.
The workshop will be chaired by Árni M. Mathiesen, former Minister, Iceland
