Project Summary

According to FAO, aaquaculture is projected to be the prime source of seafood by 2030.The Asia-Pacific region is the world's largest aquaculture producing region with more than 89 percent of global aquaculture. It is also estimated that fish consumption in the Asia-Pacific will increase by 30 percent by 2030 and aquaculture production may need to increase by 50 percent to meet increased global demand for fish. However, this region is more vulnerable to climate change risks than other regions in the world due to its geography and heavy dependence on natural resources. The increasing number and extremeness of climate change events is threatening the sustainability of the aquaculture sector.

Thus, adapting to the predicted changes in the short-term while taking mitigation measures in the long-term is critical in sustaining the aquaculture sector and also be the starting point of this project. The project will be carried out as a 2-day workshop in the second quarter of 2024.This workshop aims at: (i) Enhancing the capacity of economies in responding and adapting to negatives impacts of climate change on the aquaculture sector; (ii) Capturing and sharing key lessons learned among APEC economies in promoting sustainable aquaculture sector; (iii) Developing a set of recommendations and regional cooperation network between different sectors of the economy to improve aquacultural sustainability.

Relevance

Issues: Aquaculture is projected to be the prime source of seafood by 2030, as demand grows from the global middle class and wild capture fisheries approach their maximum take. When practiced responsibly, aquaculture would be an important contributor to the food security, livelihoods and economic growth in coastal and rural. According to FAO (2020), aquaculture’s contribution to global fish production has continued to rise, reaching 82,1 million tons out of the estimated 179 million tons of global production and the share is expected to grow from the current 46 to 53%. The Asia-Pacific region is the world's largest aquaculture producing region with more than 89 percent of global aquaculture weight produced in the region. Eight of the top ten aquaculture producing economies in the world are in the Asia-Pacific region.

However, Asia-Pacific is more vulnerable to climate risks than other regions of the world due to its geography and heavy dependence on natural resources. Millions of people who rely on natural resources for food and work, including those in aquaculture sector, bear the brunt of climate change. According to UNDP and UNFCC, the region is facing the increasing number and extremeness of climate change events. Scientists predict that by the end of this century the sea level could rise by 65cm (2.1ft), which ultimately will pose an existential threat to many low-lying economies in the region. WMO State of the Global Climate report in 2021 confirmed that the past seven years have been the warmest seven years on record, leading to such extreme disasters as heat wave, droughts, change in rainfall patterns, sea surface salinity… that can have severe impacts on human life. Thus, it can be seen that the sustainability of the aquaculture sector is at stake due to the predicted effects of climate change in both short-term and long-term.

Adapting to the predicted changes in the short-term and taking mitigation measures in the long-term could be the only way toward sustaining the sector’s production. Therefore, the project will seek to enhance the capacity of APEC member economies, especially the developing economies, to respond and adapt to the negative impacts of climate change on the sustainability of the aquaculture sector through sharing experiences and best practices among participants (governments, experts, businesses, global and regional organizations…). By taking actions to improve the sustainability of the aquaculture in the face of climate change, we can substantially contribute to “to ensure that the Asia-Pacific region is resilient to shocks, crises, pandemics and other emergencies” as stated in the APEC Putrajaya Vision 2040.

Eligibility and Fund Priorities: The project is designed to build the capacity of economies through sharing experiences and best practices among participants (governments, experts, businesses, global and regional organizations…) in responding and adapting to the negative impacts of climate change on the aquaculture sector among participants. Through the discussion and exchanges at the Workshop, the participants will be enabled to learn diverse approaches and strategies to improve the sustainability of the aquaculture sector in the face of climate change. The insights and recommendations from the project will also help economies to identify areas that need more resources or training, which will serve as a basis for their future skills and capacity building activities.

Moreover, the project is aligned with the ASF General Fund’s priorities on (i) Safeguarding the quality of life through environmentally sound growth; (ii) Facilitating technology flows and harnessing technologies for the future; and (iii) Promoting the development of knowledge-based economies.

Capacity Building: The Asia-Pacific region is the world's largest aquaculture producing region. By weight, more than 89 percent of global aquaculture comes from the Asia-Pacific region. Eight of the top ten aquaculture producing economies in the world are in the Asia-Pacific region. Therefore, the project will gather APEC developed and developing economies to exchange knowledge and practice in responding and adapting to the negative impacts of climate change on the aquaculture sector, which help APEC economies, especially the developing ones which has a significant part of agricultural GDP contributed by the aquacultural sector. The project also hopes to gather participants from public, private and academic sectors, thus create a helpful and friendly network for further coordinative actions.

The project is aligned with 3 of 4 APEC’s goals for capacity building: “to attain sustainable growth and equitable development in the Asia-Pacific region”, “to reduce economic disparities among APEC economies” and “to improve the economic and social well-being of the people”.

Once this project is implemented, it will generate long-term and short-term benefits for all APEC members, especially economies like the Philippines, Japan, Viet Nam, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, Papua New Guinea….who are most affected by climate change.

Objectives

The project is designed to:

1) Enhancing the capacity of economies in responding and adapting to negatives impacts of climate change on the aquaculture sector;

2) Capturing and sharing key lessons learned among APEC economies in promoting sustainable aquaculture sector;

3) Developing a set of recommendations and regional cooperation network between different sectors of the economy to improve aquacultural sustainability.

Alignment

Beneficiaries and Outputs

Outputs:

1) A Background Research Document (minimum12- 15 pages) to be submitted at least 1 month before the Workshop, providing inputs, lived experiences from different stakeholders, including governments, academia, experts, businesses, global and regional organizations, especially aquaculture workers (by conducting literature search and in-person and online interviews, followed by data analysis). The Background Research Document will be shared to participants a few days before the Workshop and will be served as a reference Document for further discussion at the Workshop. The Document will be containing tentatively 4 topics:

a) Studies, researches and analysis on the need of aquacultural sustainability as a part of sustainable development

b) Opportunities and challenges in promoting mitigation and adaptation to climate change for the sustainable aquaculture.

c) At least three case studies (minimum two APEC economies).

d) A set of policy recommendations, best practices, lived experiences that economies could tentatively implement to improve the preparedness, responses to climate change of aquaculture. The Workshop will provide economy participants and stakeholders the opportunity to review the Document and provide inputs into any areas that need revision or expansion.

2) A 2-day Hybrid Workshop in April 2024 will be held in Viet Nam, with time allotted to develop conclusions and recommendations. The hybrid would allow the organizer to invite qualified speakers from international organizations and all 21 APEC member economies, including non APEC funded-eligible speakers and participants. This workshop will be based on discussions among participants, particularly women coming from governments, NGOs, institutions, and public and private sectors; experts working on women empowerment, environmental entrepreneurs, and climate change.

The Workshop Agenda will tentatively cover 4 main sessions during the 2-day Workshop, 2 full days for physical participants, and it can be adjusted to 2-3 hours for the convenience of online participants as appropriate. The rough Agenda below is subjected to change:

Day 1:

a) The assessment and explanation of the current regional and individual economies’ aquaculture-related organizations, experts, businesses regarding opportunities and challenges in coping with climate change”;

b) Providing analysis on areas affected by climate change such as geography, aquacultural practices,… of several economies; and

c) The sharing of experiences, and best practices among economies to facilitate the process of mitigating and adapting to climate change in aquacultural sector, and how female participation is promoted in this process.

Day 2:

a) Exploring ways to improve sustainability in aquacultural sector with each economy’s circumstances in the face of climate change that recaps the key learnings, and facilitates a discussion amongst participants about what they gained most from the event and how they can/plan to apply new information, resources or learning in their roles.

In addition, we will organize a roundtable discussion or training Session for physical participants in the afternoon of the 1^st day Workshop. Details about this Session will be decided later.

Day 2 will include a ½ day Field Trip to a close by province or research center, which is to observe how Viet Nam is doing to enhance the resiliency of the aquaculture to climate change, build awareness and capacity for participants, show how the participants could put into practice the Workshop recommendations in their economies (which is one of the key desired outcomes of the Workshop).

A collection of documents and presentations presented by speakers/experts at the Workshop will be shared to participants (hard copies and cloud links), submitted to the APEC Secretariat, HWG and other relating working groups.

A Set of 2 Surveys on expectation and satisfaction of the Workshop will be prepared and circulated to participants before the start and after the Symposium:

a) The Pre-Workshop Survey will be disseminated to participants and collected before the Workshop. The objective is to evaluate the awareness of participants on the need to enhance aquacultural sustainability and creating a regional cooperation network in this field in APEC, between APEC and other international organizations; expectation of participants on the Workshop’s results. The Survey can also be used as an additional source of reference for the Set of Recommendation.

b) The Post-Workshop survey to be disseminated to participants and collected after the Workshop (by email in Google Form format if necessary). The Post-Workshop Evaluation will be used to evaluate if the Symposium can meet its objectives such as collecting data, and if the workshop has addressed satisfactorily gender issues related to the main topic, evaluate the number of participating economies, and assess the satisfaction of participants on the content of the Workshop. When processing the results of the feedback, we will also focus on the gender- related issues. The report of the results from both surveys will be submit to the OFWG accompanied with the Workshop Summary.

3) The Workshop Report with 2 sections, including the Workshop Summary and the Compendium of Recommendation. This Report is APEC publication and will be posted publicly on APEC website.

a) The Workshop Summary is expected to be minimum 10 pages, capturing the main content of the discussion, shared point of views among participants and survey results, and reviewing highlights from the Background Research Document, restating shared Best Practice case/ key success factors..

b) The Compendium of Recommendation is expected to have around 3 pages providing key recommendations to participants from APEC member economies. The recommendations will be on feasible actions, including policy coordination across member economies, capacity-building activities, and multi-stakeholder cooperation. Participants from APEC member economies can consider adopting these new recommendations or adjusting their existing ones to be more effective.

After the Workshop, the final draft will be sent via email to the participants for comments with a deadline before endorsement.

Outcomes:

In short term:

a) The organisers expect that the outputs of the Workshop (including the Background Research Document, the Workshop Report, Speakers’ presentations) will be influential in the community after they are disseminated through different channels (websites of APEC, related ministries, agencies, etc). Participants, particularly from developing economies are expected to increase the awareness and capacity, to integrate knowledge and information regarding climate change mitigation and adaptation in aquaculture sector absorbed at the Workshop, from which they can draw lessons, experiences, and apply in their economy. This outcome could be measured by the Post-Workshop survey by asking the participants whether they will proactively share the Workshop documents within their agencies.

b) Improved harmonisation of individual economy and regional climate policies, initiatives and projects, driven by the evaluation of member and inter-regional policies at the Workshop. This outcome could be measured by the Post-Workshop survey by asking the participants whether they assessed the Workshop had successfully identified recommendations for policy harmonisation and collaboration amongst APEC economies.

In Long term

a) The Workshop Report incorporating interventions, policy measures and recommendations shared during the Workshop will be the key deliverable.

b) These recommendations will include followed-up or additional APEC activities/ initiatives/ actions that APEC should have. This is a resource/reference guide for APEC economies to consider in developing policies at economy’s or APEC’s level.

c) We expect that there will be more cooperative work in the future between APEC members and other stakeholders, particularly a platform for discussion and experience sharing after the Workshop.

Beneficiaries: The target beneficiaries of this project are:

The primary beneficiaries:

a) Policymakers and negotiators, and officials from the government agencies who are working on climate change response, green and sustainable development, aquaculture and fisheries: (i) They can improve their knowledge and capacity in aquaculture-related climate responsiveness; (ii) Learn best practices from member economies; (iii) Explore solutions to solve domestic and regional policy challenges through in-depth exchanges.

b) Representatives from related APEC working group (i.e. OFWG, APEC Climate Center,)who can offer insights about on-going work in their group and opportunities for cross-fora collaboration.

c) Representatives from international/regional organizations (UNDP, FAO, ASEAN,…), inter-governmental organizations and NGOs having deep background knowledge who can share about the broad overview of international cooperation on the issue and suggest measures/best practices from their respective organizations. They can also learn and acquire more information on the situation and cooperation in APEC.

d) Experts from environmental institutes and equivalents, particularly academia/scholars/activists on climate change, and green technology in aquaculture and related sectors: Benefit from in-depth exchanges with colleagues from other member economies, cultivating knowledge and practical experience.

The secondary beneficiaries: Citizens, especially farmers and co-operatives in member economies: (i) Enjoy the benefits of mitigating and adaptation to climate change policies in a more equitable and comprehensive manner; and (ii)Avoid the synergistic effects of the negative impacts of climate change.

Dissemination

Hard copies of only essential material for the Workshop will be provided to all the participants (agenda, Background Research Document, draft Compendium of Recommendations for add-ins…). The electronic publication will also be used to disseminate the outputs of the project (agenda, speeches, power-point presentations from speakers, Background Research Document, Workshop Report).

The endorsed and thoroughly compliance checked (with APEC Project Guidebook, APEC Publications, IP and Logo Guidelines),Workshop Report shall be prepared as an APEC publication and made available on the APEC website. Other international organisations might also publish the document with hyperlink to APEC website.

A press release on the Workshop will be published on relevant media including the official websites of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Viet Nam (www.baoquocte.vn), and that of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development.

The target audience includes those who are interested in, involved directly or indirectly in this regard, including governments’ officials, experts, researchers, business associations, representatives working on climate change response, green and sustainable development, gender equality, and women empowerment. Member economies are expected to disseminate the results of the Workshop to their respective agencies and business communities through their websites. All organizations, academia, and other participants involved in the Workshop are also expected to share its outcomes.

There is no intention to sell outputs resulting from this project.

Gender

Targets
Female Participants (%)	At least 30%
Female Speakers/Experts (%)	At least 30%

The project will contribute to promoting three of the five pillars of the Gender Criteria (Skills, Capacity Building, and Health; Leadership, Voice, and Agency; Innovation and Technology) as detailed in Appendix G of the Guidebook on APEC Projects, Edition 16.

Both men and women will get equal opportunities to participate in the project implementation including in the process of the preparatory stage, consultation, and discussion… to have a diverse set of opinions.

Female participation as speaker or delegates to the workshop will be encouraged based on the highest efficiency of the project, therefore, the percentage of female speakers and participants will be decided at a later stage. However, the organizers will make sure that women are provided favorable conditions to take part in and contribute to the project.

We expect at least 30 percent of the presentations are conducted by women and at least 30 percent of participants are female. For example, invitations will be sent through APEC Policy Partnership on Women and the Economy (PPWE), Women Business Associations of Viet Nam and APEC member economies to attract as many women as possible to attend the Workshop.

PO is committed to collecting sex-disaggregated data for all speakers and participants (and not only the APEC funded) from the project event. This data will be included as part of the submission of the Completion Report to the Secretariat when the project completes and will serve to guide future POs on their own gender parity targets.

Referring to the Guide on Gender Criteria for APEC Project Proposals in the Guidebook on APEC Projects, please tick the pillar or pillars that this project supports, in promoting women’s economic empowerment:

	5 Pillars (you may tick more than one)
1	Access to Capital and Assets
2	Access to Markets
3	Skills, Capacity Building, and Health	X
4	Leadership, Voice and Agency
5	Innovation and Technology	X

The project is aligned with 2 of 5 Pillars “Skills, Capacity Building, and Health” and “Innovation and Technology” as participants will be enabled to learn diverse approaches, strategies, technologies to improve the sustainability of the aquaculture sector in the face of climate change. Furthermore, the insights and recommendations from the project will also help participants to identify areas that need more resources or training, which will serve as a basis for their future skills and capacity building activities.

The project is also aligned with 3 of 4 APEC’s goals for capacity building: “to attain sustainable growth and equitable development in the Asia-Pacific region”, “to reduce economic disparities among APEC economies” “to improve the economic and social well-being of the people”.

Risks

No.	Risks	How will it be managed?
1	Inappropriate participants in terms of number and qualification	Early invitation and consultation with APEC relevant departments and international agencies will be conducted 2-3 months before the Workshop. PO will limit the number of participants and verify theirtitles and CVs. PO will maintain communications with qualified participants; participating confirmation will be conducted regularly to avoid unexpected postponement.A list of possible replacement participants will be arranged.PO will also add a detailed participant profile to the General Information Circular, to guide economies nominating qualified participants, including to achieve a gender-balanced event.
2	Lacking capable speakers	Work closely with potential speakers to secure their participation and ask for a soft copy of their presentation within 2 months before the Workshop.
3	Duplication of previous projects	3 months before the Workshop, the PO will consult closely with the overseer of relevant projects to identify the overlapping contents. The PO will also read all the outputs of other APEC Workshops related to this issue.
4	Untimely preparation	At the early implementation stage, an ad-hoc team in charge of entry permit, contract engagement, and participant confirmation will be established to guarantee internal deadlines. Powell also secure a backup venue, and keep a financial reserve to cover unforeseen costs.
5	Parts of the discussion session are not relevant or important to specific people due to diverse groups of participants	Invite notable experts(from governments, businesses, institutions) in this area to ensure a series of quality and comprehensive discussion. Filter the most relevant participants through CVs and experience verification.

Linkages

The PO will liaise with respective POs of the relevant project to learn about the content for coordination and avoid duplication. The PO will consider inviting representative from related groups in APEC and other non-APEC stakeholders.

The workshop will invite the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), World Wildlife Fund (WWF) and other related international organization representatives as non-APEC stakeholders to participate in the event. In addition, stakeholders from APEC governments, private sector and academia will be involved. Last but not least, cross-fora activities with APEC relevant working groups like Ocean and Fisheries Working Group (OFWG), Tourism Working Group (TWG), Transportation Working Group (TPTWG)… will be promoted.

Sustainability

The regular OFWG Meetings will be checkpoints when the members brief each other on the progress of work (changes of policy/regulation, adoption of new policies/regulation).

The APEC participants can use the disseminated Workshop Report can use and apply it to their own economic circumstances.

Through the Workshop, the network among experts, regulators, and businesses can be created to provide consultation as well as promote possible activities to support the building and implementation of more inclusive and gender-responsive climate policies in APEC member economies.

We anticipate that this Workshop will provide valuable information on the topics relating to sustainability, particularly sustainable aquaculture. If there is appetite and interest in a future workshop specifically on this field, we could consider including a follow-up workshop to go into more detail. The outcomes of this work and potential next steps will also be highlighted at other relevant APEC meetings.
