Global community established a dedicated fund for loss and damage at UNFCCC. However, one of the most challenging issues is to assess the ecological and biological loss and damage and to address those with required financial and technical assistance. But COP28 advanced the global policy regime in terms of accessing technical and financial resources to address loss and damage. Adv. Hafij Khan will talk about the scope and challenges of the global policies related to ecological loss and damage considering the national context of Bangladesh with particular focus on the coastal fisher communities.

Floodplain wetlands of India are a critical resource for fish production and other ecosystem services. Beel (inland lake) dependent communities, mostly traditional fishers, face numerous livelihood challenges from both natural and anthropogenic drivers. ICAR-CIFRI has taken up culture fisheries interventions with a holistic perspective of nutritional security, increased production and enhanced income for long term viability. This talk is an outcome of Ganga Basin research under National Mission of Ganga which outlines the social, economic and ecological stressors causing livelihoods vulnerability for the artisanal fishers and Hilsa fisheries and suggests novel ways in which they can be supported.

This talk traces the implications of fisheries policy-making and management decisions on research and monitoring practices with a view to offering insights on the potential strengths and limitations of the evidence base for fisheries management. It then “turns the telescope around” so to speak and considers how data collected as part of fisheries monitoring programs typically contributes to decision-making in practice and the extent to which most fisheries management decisions are data-driven, evidence-based and transparent in nature. The talk draws from the Canadian experience but seeks to offer perspectives on fisheries management structures and practices more generally.
