There is no doubt that our climate is changing. This will
pose huge challenges to nations, organisations, enterprises,
cities, communities and individuals. Developing
countries will suffer most from the adverse consequences
of climate change, and some highly vulnerable regions
and people are already being affected.
There is increasing agreement that if temperatures rise
by no more than 2 °C the earth’s integrity can be preserved
and many of the potentially grave consequences
of climate change could be avoided. This threshold is

It is becoming evident that if high-consumption societies are to tackle climate
change, signifi cant changes in production processes as well as in consumption
patterns will be required. Such transformations cannot be achieved unless
climate change is taken into account in the general and sector-specifi c policies
which underlie economic activity and general social development. When industry,
energy producers or transport companies take action as a result of climate
policies, they are also infl uenced signifi cantly by other policies. The degree to

The GIZ project “Climate Protection through Forest Conservation in Pacific Island Countries” has produced a report on the existing legal framework in Vanuatu with regards to REDD+. This is a direct follow-up from the Vanuatu carbon rights study (2012).

Agriculture, livestock, and related activities make up roughly 25% of Uruguay’s economy. The contribution of agricultural activity to Uruguay’s exports is also large and growing. In this context, Minister Tabaré Aguerre presented on Uruguay’s AgroInteligente strategy, which includes: 1. Promotion of competitiveness and international integration 2. Sustainable intensification 3. Adaptation of production systems to climate change 4. Competitive inclusion of family agriculture in value chains 5.

This animation is a tool to raise awareness of the science and impacts of El Niño and La Niña and encourage Pacific Islanders to take early action in preparing for these extreme events. The film stars a comical and highly resilient crab and follows her escapades across the Pacific.

This paper sets out a framework for ‘Risk Governance’ to help practitioners mainstream climate and disaster risk1 into development decision making in the Pacific. It is based largely on the experiences of testing this framework in the Pacific via the Pacific Risk Resilience Programme (PRRP). It aims to:

i) articulate the rationale for strengthening risk governance as the foundation for transformational and therefore more sustained risk mainstreaming;

ii) draw upon lessons and challenges from mainstreaming other cross-cutting issues;

To guide project teams in achieving the highest quality in the analysis, design, implementation and information & knowledge management of CBA projects, we have developed the CBA Project Standards. These standards represent the key criteria that must be achieved to ensure the quality of process and outputs of different stages of the project cycle. Most importantly, the achievement of these standards will help to ensure that CBA projects make a sustainable contribution to the adaptive capacity of project stakeholders.

This is a practical manual to carry out participatory monitoring, evaluation, reflection and learning in community level climate change adaptation programs. It includes guidelines in the use of participatory tools and methodologies.

This Participants Manual is a reference resource to be used in the "Joj blong yumi i help long taem blong disasta" training program together with the Facilitators Manual. The training program teaches Christian Church leaders and groups in Vanuatu about disaster management.

Christian Churches in Vanuatu are a strong network that can help all people (not just their own members) before, during and after a disaster. The activities in the training program teach Church leaders to work with all in their community to prepare and respond to natural disasters.

This Manual is written for community leaders to facilitate Disaster Management training activities for Christian Church leaders and groups in Vanuatu. It outlines a series of Disaster Management learning activities and is supported by a ‘Participants Manual’ (in Bislama).
