SPREP Publications, Environmental Governance

Available Online

Brief overview of the PLP-ESS partnership which brings key partners including the World Bank, The Asian Development Bank, The University of the South Pacific and SPREP to deliver capacity building on environmental and social safeguard issues in the Pacific.

IPCC Pacific factsheet : Small Islands - Climate Change Impacts and Risks

Climate Change Resilience

Available Online

Small islands are increasingly affected by increases in temperature, a larger proportion of the most intense tropical cyclones (TCs) storm surges, droughts, changing precipitation patterns, sea level rise (SLR), coral bleaching and invasive species, all of which are already detectable across both natural and human systems.

IPCC Pacific Factsheet : Overview

Climate Change Resilience

Available Online

An overview of findings for the Pacific form the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's (IPCC) sixth assessment report (AR6) on impacts, adaptation and vulnerability.

IPCC Pacific Factsheet : Water and Sanitation

Climate Change Resilience

Available Online

Freshwater systems in Pacific nations are exposed to many diverse climate impacts and are among the most threatened on the planet.

IPCC Pacific Factsheet : Marine Ecosystems and Fisheries

Climate Change Resilience

Available Online

Marine habitats such as coral reefs, mangroves and seagrass beds are being damaged and in some cases destroyed. Marine habitats are being impacted by increasing ocean temperature, sea level rise, extreme weather events, reduced ocean oxygen levels and ocean acidification. The loss of habitats negatively impacts many marine species and shoreline protection.

IPCC Pacific Factsheet : Infrastructure and Settlements

Climate Change Resilience

Available Online

Adaptation options for infrastructure, people and coastal ecosystems will be required in both near-term and long-term due to sea level rise. Changes in rainfall patterns have resulted in almost-annual flood events that damage major assets and threaten livelihoods. This has already occured in urban areas of Fiji and Kiribati

IPCC Pacific Factsheet : Health and Wellbeing

Climate Change Resilience

Available Online

Health risks associated with climate change are projected to increase with the scale of impacts depending on emissions pathways. Health risks can arise from exposures to extreme weather and climate events, particularly increases in cyclone intensity, floods, droughts and heat waves.

IPCC Pacific factsheet : Food

Climate Change Resilience

Available Online

The projected impacts of climate change on agriculture and fisheries will undermine food production systems, but in some cases enhance productivity. Impacts of climate change on food production include warming temperatures, severe cyclones, sea level rise, floods and droughts, saltwater intrusion into freshwater and soils, as well as loss of fish stocks from ocean warming and acidification. These can all increase instances of food insecurity and malnutrition in Pacific Island nations

IPCC Pacific Factsheet : Disaster Risk Management

Climate Change Resilience

Available Online

Increased frequency, insensity and duration of climate change induced extreme weather events are causing widespread and severe impacts on individuals communities and infrastructure as well as ecosystems and their services.

SPREP Pacific Conversation series - Ocean Acidification Why We Should All Care

SPREP Publications, Climate Change Resilience

Available Online

That Ocean acidification directly impacts us all? It is the process where seawater becomes more acidified from the increased levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere as a result of burning fossil fuels and other human activities. On top of the existential threat posed by Climate Change, Ocean Acidification will become increasingly problematic for our Pacific people given our reliance on the Ocean for Everything.
