The MiCOAST GEDSI Voyage Strategy Handbook outlines a collaborative approach to integrating Gender Equality, Disability, and Social Inclusion (GEDSI) principles into the MiCOAST project. The strategy highlights key principles such as systems-level thinking, local and indigenous knowledge integration, and fostering inclusivity through evidence-based learning and innovation. Designed as an evolving resource, the handbook provides a framework to enable partners to implement GEDSI effectively into their Community Based Fisheries Management (CBFM) projects.

This webinar on “Coastal ecosystem restoration for climate adaptation in the Pacific” was organised as part of SPREP Technical Assistance programme under the Kiwa Initiative. It is the first of a series of learning events to provide a space where Kiwa projects and partners can share their experience, challenges, expectations and further strengthen our knowledge and capacities on coastal restoration for climate resilience. This webinar introduced and highlighted different aspects, issues and strategies when planning, designing or implementing a coastal restoration project or activity, hearing from Pacific experts and practitioners.

L’analyse du régime de feu dans la haute vallée de la Kouaoua entre dans le cadre du projet démonstateur PEBACC+. Elle repose sur 108 images satellites de 2000 à 2023 autour des tribus de Konoyes-Shaoué, Ouérou-Pimé et Méchin. Les 1 014 feux recensés ont brûlé 3 281 hectares. The analysis of the fire regime in the upper Kouaoua Valley is part of the Pacific Ecosystem-based Adaptation to Climate Change (PEBACC+) plus project demonstration efforts. The analysis is based on 108 satellite images from 2000 to 2023 around the tribes of Konoyes-Shaoué, Ouérou-Pimé and Méchin. The 1,014 fires recorded burned 3,281 hectares of land.

REFORESTATION of key ecosystems to improve and extend forest cover, improve forest health and function, enhance biodiversity and sustain freshwater supply on Taveuni. PEBACC+ Project will work with communities to plant native tree seedlings.

Le projet régional PEBACC+ (Pacific Ecosystem-Based Adaptation to Climate Change Plus) vise à renforcer la résilience des écosystèmes, des économies et des populations par la mise en oeuvre démonstrative, la planification et l’institutionnalisation de l’approche de l’Adaptation fondée sur les Ecosystèmes (AfE) et les Solutions fondées sur la Nature (SfN) pour l’adaptation au changement climatique.

The Pacific Ecosystem-based Adaptation to Climate Change Plus/Phase 2 (PEBACC+) Project seeks to strengthen the resilience of ecosystems, economies, and communities to the impacts of climate change in Fiji, New Caledonia, Wallis-and-Futuna, Solomon Islands, and Vanuatu. The PEBACC+ Project will develop, sustain, and institutionalise ecosystem-based adaptation (EbA) to climate change in these five countries and territories.

Sans attendre les résultats de l’ESRAM, des activités dedemonstration de terrain d’adaptation au changementclimatique fondée sur les écosystèmes seront soutenuestechniquement et financièrement grâce à l’implicationdes autorités publiques du Territoire et descommunautés locales des sites pilotes sélectionnés etde leurs représentants

Ecosystem and socio-economic resilience analysis and mapping (ESRAM). The ESRAM process is to generate a robust planning baseline to inform the identification of EbA options for strengthening the socio-ecological resilience of selected areas to the impacts of climate change and direct anthropogenic impacts on ecosystems and socio-economy. EbA options will point to specify key climate change issues and specific sites for which impactful EbA projects can then be developed and implemented.

River catchment restoration are efforts to support the restoration of the Tagabe River and study the possibility of creating corridors for biodiversity. PEBACC+ Project will support tree planting, buffer zone creation, erosion and flood control, community awareness and mobilisation, waste management and governance. Special attention will be given to monitoring and maintenance of the trees planted.

Forest rehabilitation are efforts to restore tree cover and an important contributor to forest recovery. PEBACC+ peoject will support the collection and propagation of seedlings at Barana Community Nature and Heritage Park and put in place a silvicultural programme.
