22nd Regular Session of the Scientific Committee

SC22 will review progress on the development of early warning tools to anticipate climate-driven changes, including data inputs, methodological approaches, and resource requirements, requested by the Commission at WCPFC22. The Commission also requested that future assessments of climate impacts on tuna resources explicitly include the geographic regions of Indonesia, the Philippines, and Vietnam. SC22 will consider how these regions are incorporated into ongoing and planned analyses, and how this work supports the broader phased approach to integrating climate risks into WCPFC scientific and management processes.
