For Pacific Island countries in the western and central Pacific region, there is a large region where very dry is likely for the coming season, this stretches east from northwest PNG in the west, to French Polynesia and Pitcairn Island in the east.

For Pacific island countries in the western and central Pacific region, there is a large region where below normal rainfall is likely or very likely stretching east and southeast from the northwest PNG in the west to French Polynesia and Pitcairn island in the east.

Lasting impressions this quarter were about reflecting on our expectations a year ago and lessons gained since then. Thirty nationals from ten countries have since met to share practical experiences and insight on topical matters centred on tracking impact of adaptation in the Pacific.

Invasive species are the leading driver of biodiversity loss in the Pacific. They have a significant impact on ecosystem resilience leading to a loss of ecosystem services and a reduced ability to adapt to climate change.

La Niña continues in the tropical Pacific and models suggest a return to ENSO-neutral SSTs in January or February 2023.

PACRES aims to improve regional, national adaptation and mitigation solutions to climate change concerns faces in 15 Pacific ACP countries.

Key atmospheric and oceanic indicators of ENSO reflect a mature La Niña. Models suggest a return to ENSO-neutral in January or February 2023.

La Niña continues in the tropical Pacific with models suggest a return to ENSO-neutral in Janu-ary or February 2023.

Key atmospheric and oceanic indicators of ENSO show an established La Niña. Models indicate this La Niña event is likely to decline early in the southern summer, with a return to ENSO-neutral (neither La Niña nor El Niño) early in 2023
