This briefing paper provides a short synthesis of key findings and strategic priorities from the National Policy Framework Assessment report on nature-based solutions (NbS) in Tonga. The analysis focuses on forestry and coastal resilience sectors, with cross-sectoral linkages to national development, climate and biodiversity frameworks.Call Number: [EL] ISBN/ISSN: 978-982-04-1524-9 ,978-982-04-1523-2 Physical Description: 3 p. 29 cm.
Motivated by declines in biodiversity exacerbated by climate change, we identified a network of conservation sites designed to provide resilient habitat for species, while supporting dynamic shifts in ranges and changes in ecosystem composition. Our 12-ystudy involved 289 scientists in 14 study regions across the conterminous United States(CONUS), and our intent was to support local-, regional-, and national-scale conservation decisions.
The Pacific ocean's exceptional terrestrial and marine biodiversity offers invaluable services to communities. But for this part of the world is particularly vulnerable to climate change, which has a direct impact on ecosystems and traditional way of life. The KIWA initiative is a multi-donor program that aims to strengthen the climate resilience of ecosystems, communities and economies in the Pacific countries and territories by using Nature-based solutions (NbS) to protect, restore and sustainably manage biodiversity.both available in French and English, (7 both copies).
Pacific Islanders are no strangers to disasters. For millennia, island peoples have coped with and adapted to disasters like tropical cyclones and tsunamis, as well as unpredictable shifts in precipitation patterns, leading to droughts and floods.
The Reef Resilience Online Courses have been designed to provide easy access to the latest science and strategies for managing coral reefs in a changing climate.
The Asia Pacific has seen an impressive reduction in absolute poverty within the span of a few decades, but marginal groups still remain vulnerable to the multi-scalar shocks of economic fluctuations, natural hazards and health crises. The small-scale fisheries sector, composed of fisherfolk
The saltwater people of Solomon Islands are often portrayed to be at the frontline of climate change. In media, policy, and development discourses, the erosion and abandonment of the small, man-made islands along the coast of Malaita is attributed to climate change induced sea-level rise. This paper investigates this sinking islands narrative, and argues that a narrow focus on the projected impacts of climate change distracts attention and resources from more pressing environmental and development problems that are threatening rural livelihoods.
The bushfire royal commission is examining ways Indigenous land and fire management could improve Australia's resilience to national disasters. On the face of it, this offers an opportunity to embrace Indigenous ways of knowing.
