PEBACC has four outputs:
1. Ecosystem and socio-economic resilience analysis and mapping (ESRAM) completed as a basis for adaptation planning at national, provincial and community levels.
2. EbA options analysed, prioritised and plans developed.
3. EbA plans implemented with demonstrated benefits.
4. Communications and outreach products developed to promote integration of EbA options into climate change policies, plans and projects.
This policy applies to SPREP’s own data as well as data held by SPREP on behalf of government agencies and partners within the Pacific.
The purpose of this policy is to:
• encourage the free exchange of data with other government agencies and partners within the Pacific and with the public in the Pacific and beyond
• promote the benefits of data sharing, and its links to good governance, accountability, public participation and the rule of law
The assessment is based on long-term observation series of the large scale features that influence the climate and weather of Pacific CMSs.
Effects of climate change on sea levels and inundation in the Pacific region
Effects of climate change on corals
The Pacific region is already having to address loss and damage, where climate change impacts exceed the limits of adaptation. In a 1.5˚C scenario these losses will be greater than today, however with planning and investment it will be possible for many Pacific island societies to adapt to the impacts of climate change in order to minimize these losses and to develop more resilient societies.
This report card provides an easy-to-read, scientifically robust summary of what we know about marine and coastal climate change impacts in the Pacific.
This compendium presents a wide-ranging overview of more than 400 projects, case studies and research activities specifically related to climate change and Indigenous Peoples. It provides a sketch of the climate and environmental changes, local observations and impacts being felt by communities in different regions, and outlines various adaptation and mitigation strategies that are currently being implemented by Indigenous Peoples
This article explores the phenomenon of the use of ICT for climate change activism in the Pacific.
State of Environment (SoE) reports provide in-country partners with a process to gather data on current environmental indicators, document their status, and formulate a plan for keeping these indicators on track or developing policies and programs as needed. This SoE Toolkit dataset contains resources that serve as guides to help create up-to-date State of Environment reports.
This report incorporates material from different disciplines and covers a diversity of approaches to data collection and project reporting drawn from the literature. Whilst the compendium of projects and case studies does not claim to provide an exhaustive list of ongoing activities related to climate change and Indigenous Peoples, it does contain a representative and illustrative survey of current effects and adaptive responses.
The article draws on semi-structured interviews and an analysis of social media sites to examine the use of social media in Pacific climate change campaigns.
These guidelines detail the process, timeline, and steps taken to complete a State of Environment Report.
Data on climate change, disaster risk and risk management in the Pacific.
Australian Support for Climate Change, Environment and Disaster Risk Management in the Pacific Findings and Recommendations of an Independent Review and Needs Assessment August 2013
The Addis Ababa Principles and Guidelines for the Sustainable Use of Biodiversity provide a framework for assisting Governments, indigenous and local communities, resource managers, the private sector and other stakeholders, about how to ensure that their uses of biological diversity will not lead to its long-term decline.
