Action Plan for PoWPA and Target 11 - Federated States of Micronesia (FSM)
Available Online

Federated States of Micronesia (FSM) Department of Resources and Development

Traditional, social and cultural institutions are still very strong in the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM). Micronesian society is based on the extended family, which is responsible for the family welfare, especially in relation to customary family land. Ownership of land and aquatic areas varies between States. In Kosrae and Pohnpei, land is both privately and State owned, while all aquatic areas and some land areas are managed by the State as public trusts. In Chuuk, most land and aquatic areas are privately owned and acquired through inheritance, gift or, recently, by purchase. In Yap, almost all land and aquatic areas are owned or managed by individual estates and usage is subject to traditional control. In all States, land cannot be sold to non-citizens of the FSM. The indigenous population is Micronesian with most of the people residing on the island/town centers of the four Island States.

Federated States of Micronesia Government

2014
The Federated States of Micronesia (FSM) is pleased to present this 5th National Report to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD). Our country is comprised of four States, Yap, Chuuk, Pohnpei, and Kosrae, and contains 607 islands stretching across almost 3 million square kilometers of the Pacific. There are five primary governing structures within the FSM, the National government and the four State governments. Responsibilities for managing natural resources and the environment are shared between private resource owners, the States, and the National level. As such, this report reflects progress towards National biodiversity objectives as well as objectives set in each of the four States. The report was prepared through a collaborative process. The primary method of data collection to inform the report was a series of five two-day stakeholder workshops held in each of the four States of FSM, and one at the National level. These workshops were augmented with individual meetings. Over a three month period the report team met with over 100 biodiversity conservation stakeholders including representatives from about 70 National and State government resource management agencies, local non-governmental organizations (NGOs), members of communities, traditional leaders, educational institutions, the private sector, and regional and international conservation organizations. Please see Appendix I for information about the dates of the workshops, the agenda, and the list of stakeholders involved.

The Asia and Pacific region is extremely vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. Unabated warming could significantly undo previous achievements of economic development and improvements of living standards. At the same time, the region has both the economic capacity and weight of influence to change the present fossil-fuel based development pathway and curb global emissions. This report sheds light on the regional implications of the latest projections of changes in climate conditions over Asia and the Pacific. The assessment concludes that, even under the Paris consensus scenario in which global warming is limited to 1.5°C to 2°C above preindustrial levels, some of the land area, ecosystems, and socioeconomic sectors will be significantly affected by climate change impacts, to which policy makers and the investment community need to adapt to. However, under a Business-As-Usual (BAU) scenario, which will cause a global mean temperature rise of over 4°C by the end of this century, the possibilities for adaptation are drastically reduced. Among others, climate change impacts such as the deterioration of the Asian “water towers”, prolonged heat waves, coastal sea-level rise and changes in rainfall patterns could disrupt ecosystem services and lead to severe effects on livelihoods which in turn would affect human health, migration dynamics and the potential for conflicts. This assessment also underlines that, for many areas vital to the region’s economy, research on the effects of climate change is still lacking.

The utilisation of marine genetic resources and associated traditional knowledge has long been sidelined in the discussions on access to genetic resources and fair and equitable benefit sharing (ABS). One reason lies in the difficult accessibility of marine ecosystems, especially in greater depths.
