This review is the main output of project logical frame activity 1.1 “Review effects of climate change on other [DFID] natural resource sectors”. It aims to frame the impacts of climate change on fisheries within the wider context of other renewable natural resource sectors, particularly agriculture and forestry, and thereby highlight any important interactions that might exist. Impacts in Africa and Asia form the focus of the review reflecting the importance of the fisheries sector to rural and coastal livelihoods and sensitivity to climate change in these continents.
