The resolution provides that the ICCAT Joint Climate Change Experts Meeting will hold at least one more virtual or hybrid meeting in 2024, chaired by the current Chair. The agenda will focus on a "stock-take" review of existing climate-related work within ICCAT, with the goal of integrating climate change information into the organization's decision-making processes. The group will also work to finalize and agree upon a draft ICCAT Plan of Action on Climate Change and will consider how to involve stakeholders in future discussions. The findings from this meeting, including the updated Plan of Action, will be presented to the Commission at its 2024 Annual Meeting for a decision on next steps.
