Shaping climate-resilient development: a framework for decision-making - a report of the economics of climate adaptation working group. 1) Test case on Samoa: focus on risks caused by sea level rise
Climate Change Resilience, Biodiversity Conservation

Economics of Climate Adaptation (ECA)

In Maharashtra, a large state in central India that is home to nearly 100 million people, agriculture accounts for 60 percent of employment, most of it in small-scale and marginal farming. But the region’s agriculture depends on rainfall for much of its water supply, and even a small dip in precipitation can put millions of people’s food security at risk. In a drought year, a third of the state’s food grain production may be lost, with severe impact on the small-scale farmers– most of whom have no reserves to see them through lean years. Climate change could worsen these losses significantly within a generation. For example, scenario analysis in this report suggests droughts that historically have occurred once every 25 years might now take place as frequently as every 8 years.

Government of Niue

While it is anticipated that most nations will ultimately suffer the adverse consequences from climate change, Niue remains one of the most vulnerable to the adverse effects of climate change and as such faces the most dire and immediate consequences.
Realising rights, protecting forests: an alternative vision for reducing deforestation - case studies from the Accra Caucus
Climate Change Resilience
Available Online

Aleman, Alejandro ... [et al.]

The Accra Caucus for Forests and Climate Change is a coalition of NGOs from the Global North and South, 1 which have followed the negotiations at the UNFCCC since 2008. In this report the Caucus proposes an alternative vision for achieving the objective of reducing deforestation, arguing for policies and actions that would tackle the drivers of deforestation, rather than focusing exclusively on carbon. Drawing on case studies from organizations with experience of working with forest communities, the report highlights problems linked to the implementation of REDD and suggests ways in which policies to reduce deforestation can actually work on the ground. Through case studies from selected countries the report highlights three critical components: full and effective participation (Indonesia, Ecuador, Democratic Republic of Congo); secured and equitable land rights (Brazil, Cameroon, Papua New Guinea) and community-based forest management (Tanzania, Nepal). This report is intended primarily for opinion-formers and decision makers with a role in making and influencing national policy and legislation on REDD. The case studies show that respecting the rights and realities of indigenous peoples and forest-dependent communities is the only way to ensure that the forests remain standing

Platform for Agrobiodiversity Research

Agro biodiversity, or agricultural biodiversity, includes all the components of biological diversity of relevance to food and agriculture, as well as the components of biological diversity that constitute the agro-ecosystem: the variety and variability of animals, plants and micro-organisms, at the genetic, species and ecosystem levels, which sustain the functions, structure and processes of the agro-ecosystem.

Melanesia is one of the richest biotic regions on the planet. Although consisting of slightly more than half of one percent of the earth’s land area, Melanesia contains a high percentage of the Earth’s terrestrial and marine biodiversity. Numerous studies have indicated that the island of New Guinea (the country of Papua New Guinea and Indonesia’s Papua province) and its associated archipelagos, and the major Melanesian islands (located in the countries of Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, Fiji, and the French Pacific territory of New Caledonia) are major global priorities for conservation (Olsen and Diner stein 20021 ; Wikramanayake et al. 2002; Mittermeier et al. 2003; Mittermeier et al. 2005). Melanesia’s conservation priorities include species and habitat protection as well as the continued provision of ecosystem services to local and global communities that depend on them. How regional climate change resulting from anthropogenic global warming will affect biodiversity in Melanesia is therefore a critical subject for examination with far reaching implications.

They have been defined as communities that are planned, built, or modified to promote sustainable living. They tend to focus on environmental sustainablility (including develoment and agriculture) and economic sustainability. Sustainable communities can focus on sustainable urban infrastructure and/or sustainable municipal infrastructure.

Clark, Pepe

The terrestrial, coastal and marine ecosystems of the Fiji Islands support a remarkable diversity of plants and animals, including many endemic species. These diverse ecosystems play a vital role in meeting basic human needs, supporting sustainable livelihoods and contributing to national development. Rural communities in Fiji are highly reliant on natural resources, especially coastal fisheries, and are vulnerable to ecosystem degradation, natural disasters and climate change.
