The Pacific region is already having to address loss and damage, where climate change impacts exceed the limits of adaptation. In a 1.5˚C scenario these losses will be greater than today, however with planning and investment it will be possible for many Pacific island societies to adapt to the impacts of climate change in order to minimize these losses and to develop more resilient societies.

This report card provides an easy-to-read, scientifically robust summary of what we know about marine and coastal climate change impacts in the Pacific.

This guidebook is an unprecedented effort by NOAA’s Office of National Marine Sanctuaries, the IUCN Commission on Education and Communication (CEC) and the IUCN World Commission on Protected Areas-Marine (WCPA) to inspire a
new view on communication.

This book help people manage coral reefs and other coastal ecosystems, especially to solve problems that flow from nearby (catchment) watershed areas.

Climate change is already impacting populations in Asia and the Pacific, and measures are needed to protect the most vulnerable from the adverse effects of sea-level rise, melting glaciers, more frequent and severe climate–related natural disasters, greater variability of rainfall, and other predicted impacts. In the following pages, you will learn about
ADB’s ongoing and emerging climate change mitigation and adaptation programs in Asia and the Pacific regions

sharing stories of women from mangrove-dependent communities

This book is of worldwide benefit to people, for assessment and management of biological invasion risks

This report discusses the core elements of a management system for humphead wrasse, making considerations about major fisheries management objectives, management measures, enforcement, monitoring and fisheries assessment.

The purpose of this document is to support economic analysis in Pacific island countries (government and non-government organisations) by:

* illustrating the various steps involved in conducting a CBA using examples that are familiar to Pacific Islanders in context, content and challenges;

* providing practical tools to support local CBA; and

* promoting a consistent approach to CBA.

Because V. encelioides possesses numerous invasive characteristics and has already invaded many other parts of the world, it is important to develop a comprehensive understanding of the plant to limit its spread within Hawai‘i and prevent invasion of other Pacific island ecosystem

This fact sheet covers info on;

* What are aquatic invasive species?

* How are aquatic invasives introduced?

* Some facts about aquatic invasives

The main impacts of myna are on native birds and on people, by feeding on food crops such as papaya and tomato, nesting in buildings, and roosting in large, noisy night-time gatherings.

Documenting the recent progress in addressing a growing threat to ocean biodiversity and ecosystems

This review was prepared by the Pacific Invasives Initiative (PII) on request from the Pacific Invasives Partnership (PIP)

A guide on how urban rats can be controlled

Species have been identified as having a high, medium or low vulnerability to the threat of climate change and have been categorised on the basis of a standardised assessment process. This leaflet summarises the emerging results from an assessment of CMS Appendix I species, in order to provide guidance to policy makers at the earliest opportunity

The workshop aimed to equip island countries, and countries with islands, with the tools and information needed for urgent responses to the threats associated with alien invasive species
