The EIFAAC workshop on the problems and challenges of climate change, and its impact on inland aquatic resources and fisheries of Europe was held virtually on 8 April 2025. It was organized by the EIFAAC Secretariat and Inland Fisheries Ireland. The workshop was attended by 119 participants from 23 countries. The workshop brought together leading researchers with the aim to examine how climate change is impacting inland aquatic systems and fisheries. Across three thematic sessions, experts explored the ecological impacts, monitoring tools, and adaptation strategies for freshwater systems. Session 1 (From rivers to lakes) highlighted how hydrological extremes and shifting lake thermal regimes disrupt habitats and fish ecology. Session 2 (Climate change and conservation) focused on emerging tools like acoustic telemetry and thermal habitat models to track fish responses at individual and ecosystem levels. Session 3 (Region specific fisheries adaptation) showcased evidence-based approaches, including Ireland’s national warm water protocol. Collectively, the sessions outlined that adaptation must go beyond ecological vulnerability to include socio-economic resilience. Futureproofing of inland fisheries will require coordinated monitoring, cross-sector collaboration, and inclusive policy design. A core message emerged: climate adaptation must extend beyond vulnerability assessments to include ecological functions, socio-economic values, and adaptive capacity across multiple scales.
