Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation Plan and ACMC Risk Management

Marine Protected Areas protect habitats and ecosystems from fisheries and other human activities, allow already damaged areas and ecosystems to recover, and provide resilience against potentially damaging external impacts such as global warming and ocean acidification. Because climate change is a pressure for the Cocos Island marine and terrestrial ecosystems and biodiversity, FAICO is supporting the development of the ACMC Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation Plan and Risk Management, as established by the SINAC guide for this type of tools.
