“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.

The maps in thsi report highlight how factors such as the rapid deterioration of biodiversity, the degradation of land and stress on water resources, lower the capacity of human systems to withstand hazards that are occurring more frequently and with greater intensity. The maps in this report highlight a number of these resilience deficits that are holding back achievement of key sustainable development goals.

Sea level rise results from the melting of ice sheets and glaciers and the expansion of seawater as it warms, caused by human-induced climate change. Coastal cities and settlements are particularly at risk of climate and ocean impacts and continue to attract an ever growing population which could exceed one billion people by 2050.

This volume comprises the KBSP TOOLBOX, which will help you answer key adaptation questions and co-develop solutions.
