Define, coordinate and integrate the research activities needed to understand, assess and project climate change impacts on marine ecosystems;
Plan strategies for sustaining the delivery of ecosystem goods and services, and when possible predictions should include quantifying estimations of uncertainty;
Define and quantify the vulnerability and sustainability of marine ecosystems to climate change, including the cumulative impacts and synergetic effects of climate and marine resource use;
Build global ocean prediction frameworks, through international collaborations and research, building on ICES and PICES monitoring programs.
Core Elements of S-CCME Implementation Plan Phases (3 years in duration)
Synthesis of existing knowledge;
Advancement of new science and methodology;
Communication of research findings.
Phase 1: 2012-2014
Synthesis of existing knowledge:
Complete synthesis papers from the 2010 Sendai Symposium and 2012 Yeosu Symposium;
Interpret the vulnerabilities of marine ecosystems to changing climate.
Advancement of new science and methodology:
Identify techniques for predicting climate change impacts in systems impacted by decadal variability;
Define the vulnerability of commercial species to climate change and identify which species would be most likely to experience shifts in spatial distributions;
Engage the global earth system modelling community in modelling climate change effects on marine ecosystems and identify opportunities for collaborations;
Build response scenarios for how the human community will respond to climate change.
Communication and integration of science through international symposiums:
Publish results in peer reviewed literature;
Serve as symposium/session co-convenors;
Assist in preparing and convening the PICES/ICES/IOC Symposium on “Effects of climate change on the world’s oceans” (May 2012, Yeosu, Korea).
Phase 2: 2015-2017
Continue to advance new science focused on climate change effects on marine ecosystems through theme/topic sessions and workshops;
Update and improve forecasts with IPCC AR5 scenarios;
Convene an international symposium in 2016;
Develop regional synthesis reports;
Initiate inter-sessional training for projecting climate change impacts on marine ecosystems;
Continue collaboration with global climate change research community.
Phase 3: 2018-2020
Continue to advance new science focused on climate change effects on marine ecosystems through theme/topic Sessions and workshops;
Update and improve predictions with IPCC AR6 scenarios;
Develop regional synthesis reports;
Convene an international symposium in 2018.
