This case study is one of three produced as part of the Global climate change alliance: Pacific small island states post-project evaluation.

The GCCA: PSIS project consisted of on-ground climate change adaptation activities in specific sectors - coastal protection, marine resources, health, agriculture, and freshwater supported by mainstreaming of climate change into national sectoral policies, plans, budgets and procedures.

Samoa is playing play host to a regional meeting of CITES, the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora this week. The gathering comes ahead of the global CITES conference in South Africa next month, and provides an opportunity to prepare an agenda on the most important issues facing the Pacific. Michael Donoghue, Adviser on Threatened and Migratory Species for SPREP, the Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Program says regional concerns are centred on the protection of several important marine species.

One of the ongoing problems that Fiji faces in the aftermath of Cyclone Winston is the disposal of large amounts of disaster waste, and more than 17 months after Cyclone Pam, Vanuatu is still struggling with the same problem. It's an issue that's high on the agenda of the inaugural Clean Pacific Roundtable, and another post-disaster gathering that's going on in Fiji this week. Stewart Williams says it's important to act early, and in a more co-ordinated way than after Winston and other recent extreme weather events in the Pacific.

Finland is about as far away from the Pacific as you can get, but that country's government is funding a project to the tune of around five and a half million Australian dollars to deliver improved weather, climate and warning services to the region. Working with SPREP, the Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Program, the FINPAC project which is targeting most of the Pacific Island states and territories is three-quarters of the way through its four year term. Project manager Christina Leala-Gale has been reflecting on what FINPAC has achieved over the first three years.
