Progress with recommendations from the CCAMLR Workshop on Climate Change

The outcomes of the Workshop on Climate Change (WS-CC-2023) were reported to the Scientific Committee and all recommendations were endorsed (SC-CAMLR-42). Subsequently, paper WG-EMM-2024/16 Rev 1 was presented to the Working Group on Ecosystem Monitoring and Management (WG-EMM) and paper WG-FSA-2024/XX was presented to the Working Group on Fish Stock Assessment (WG-FSA), encouraging the working groups to progress recommendations directed to them; contribute to other recommendations and tasks where appropriate; and include consideration of climate change in their advice. Here we provide tables that capture updates from the WG-EMM-2024 preliminary report and support continued progress with integrating the Workshop outcomes and climate change considerations throughout CCAMLR’s work programme. The WG-FSA has been encouraged to update the tables with a view to submitting to SC-CAMLR-43 (WG-FSA-2024/XX). We suggest the Scientific Committee review and update the tables (including with information from WG-FSA-2024, and from other relevant papers and work programmes via Members and Observers to SC-CAMLR-43), to help track and report ongoing progress with WS-CC-2023 recommendations.
