Exercises relating to climate change
This is the overview for the third part of the SEREAD programme link with ARGO. The overview progresses from low-level concepts to higher level and establish the progression between the essential concepts for this level. One of the primary purposes of this programme is to lay the foundation for linking weather to ocean matters and Argo.

Exercises relating to climate change.

Below are a large variety of exercises that can be used for inspiration to help shape your work on awareness raising in trainings, workshops, within communities, at schools or with (youth) volunteers. |
The Pacific developing member countries (DMCs) of the Asian Development Bank (ADB) are a diverse array of countries with widely varying topographies, cultures and economies, fragile natural resource environments, and prosperity, stability, and security that can be compromised by the impacts and consequences of climate change. The Pacific island governments view climate change as a priority issue, especially in terms of its potential impacts on food security, and need clear directions in addressing both issues.
| This course outline is in draft form only (softcopy). It is a "competency unit" being developed for us in RTCs (Rural Training Centres) in Vanuatu, in order to help trainees adopt technologies such as agro-forestry. Such techniques will improve food security as the climate changes. |
Climate change is impacting on food security and biosecurity in the Pacific region by degradation of
food production areas (sea level rise, salinity, drought), devastation caused by extreme weather
events (cyclones, flooding) and impacts on recovery time such as replacement of lost crop
germplasm and the need to import food substitutes. The aim of this project was to identify the key
impacts of climate change on the unique cropping systems in four small Pacific nations (Tonga,
Vanuatu, Kiribati and Tuvalu). Information was collected by the development of a questionnaire
