Abstract
The guide is a tool to understanding Pacific communities' vulnerability to climate change, variability and sea level change; and to determining what action needs to be carried out in order to adapt to these changes. In the CV&A process, the focus of data collection is the community that constitutes elders, men, women, youths and children. Their experience in relation to climate variability, change over time, and extreme events become very important. The assessment focuses on current vulnerability to both climate and non-climate related factors, and on examining current adaptive capacity. It then includes evaluation of vulnerability to future climate related risks, involving key stakeholders in the evaluation process. This eventually leads to the formulation of adaptation policies that would strengthen adaptive capacity.
