The report of the State of the Climate in the South-West Pacific 2023 provides details regarding temperature, precipitation, tropical cyclones, extreme events and their socioeconomic impacts. The transition form La Nina to El Nino conditions in the course of 2023 influenced weather and climate patterns in the region. However although the 2023/2024 El Nino event in ending, climate change continues to accelerate.

Global-mean sea level is rising and accelerating as a direct consequence of human-induced global warming. This rise int he sea level is driven primarily by two factors: the melting of land ice and the expansion of seawater as it warms.

Climate change loss and damage (L&D) due to both sudden slow-onset events are a growing concern for vulnerable countries.

“The Nafa”. As 2024 draws to a close, we reflect on a year filled with significant events – challenging, yet ultimately rewarding. The experiences and opportunities we encountered this year will significantly shape our future work in serving the Pacific community.

This factsheet provides technical information on LiDAR data and capability in Vanuatu and how remote sensing technology can be applied to generate data and information for climate hazard-based impact and risk assessments

This factsheet provides technical information on Sofar Spotter buoys and how they are used in Vanuatu for ocean monitoring to generate realtime observational data and information on key physical climate and environmental conditions such as wave height.

This video highlights the Pacific impact stories from fellows who joined the second phase of the Australia Awards Fellowship on Advancing Climate, Health, & Equity Outcomes through Local Action in the Indo-Pacific in March 2024 in Apia, Samoa.

This video highlights the strong partnership between the Pacific Climate Change Centre (PCCC), hosted at SPREP, and the University of Melbourne on advancing climate, health, and equity outcomes through local action in the Indo-Pacific.

Mālō e lelei, and warm Pacific Greetings from the Pacific Climate Change Centre (PCCC), hosted at SPREP. the Secretariat is please to introduce and welcome you to the first edition of the “Nafa”, the PCCC bi-annual newsletter.

Pacific Island Countries and Territories are facing rapidly changing ocean and coastal conditions due to climate change, and are particularly vulnerable to sea level rise (SLR). As elsewhere in the world, Pacific coastal cities concentrate population and valuable assets including well over the 50% of the region's built infrastructure.
