On February 28, 2024, within the framework of the Erasmus+ KA2 Project ” The Digital Blue Carrier for a Post-Carbon Future – Curriculum Innovations in Aquaculture [DiBluCa]”, Project no. 2023-1-LT01-KA220-HED-000154247, with the participation of production representatives, scientific and pedagogical workers and students of higher education, an extended seminar “The impact of global warming on aquaculture” was held. The aim of the seminar is to create a working space for discussing the current issues of the development of the aquaculture sector in the conditions of environmental and climatic changes under the influence of global warming within the framework of the Erasmus+ CA2 project. The 2015 Paris Climate Agreement emphasizes the importance of finding comprehensive solutions to climate change as soon as possible. This has significant political and economic implications, especially for the countries most dependent on the sector. Water quality and temperature changes affect aquaculture. In this regard, the topic of the seminar is topical, as global warming and its impact on aquaculture are a serious concern in the world. That is why the event was attended by the chief technologist of SP Sistema LLC, freshwater fish farming enterprises, environmental protection experts from four higher educational institutions and vocational training institutions of Ukraine (Odesa National University of Technology, Lviv Polytechnic National University, Kharkiv National Automobile and Road University, National Technical University “Kharkiv Polytechnic Institute”, Separate Structural Subdivision “Professional College of Oil and Gas Technologies, Engineering and Service Infrastructure of ONUT”), scientists from the State Institution “Institute of Marine Biology of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine”, students of professional higher education, students of higher education at the master’s and bachelor’s levels of specialties “Ecology”, “Technologies of environmental protection”, “Technologies of meat and fish products”. The seminar consisted of speeches, reports, and discussions related to various aspects of the current state and prospects of the development of aquaculture in conditions of global climate change. Thus, the representatives of the aquaculture sector highlighted the growing need for experts in view of the changes in the aquaculture business and the adaptation of the labor market due to the challenges of modernity, higher education institutions presented their vision of adaptive mechanisms of aquaculture to global warming and noted the need for the development of higher education in this direction. During the constructive dialogue, issues of supporting the national economy through the development of aquaculture, the current state and prospects for the development of aquaculture in Ukraine, ecological aspects of aquaculture, the impact of climate change on the development of aquaculture, research on the impact of global warming factors on aquaculture and fish farming were discussed. The discussion of urgent issues was completed by determining the relevance of training specialists in the aquaculture sector in the context of global warming and conducting a survey among stakeholders regarding the creation of special programs in the field of aquaculture for adaptation to climate change.
