JNAP Development and implementation in the Pacific: Experiences, lessons and way forward.

Climate Change Resilience, Island and Ocean Ecosystems

Available Online

Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme

Since 2010, Pacific Island Countries (PICs) have taken steps to develop and implement an integrated action plan, or Joint National Action Plan (JNAP), for climate change (CC) and disaster risk management (DRM). Tonga was the first country to develop its JNAP and to get government approval in July 2010, with several other PICs following suit. The development of a JNAP has been encouraged and facilitated by the Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP) and the Secretariat of the Pacific Community (SPC) through its Applied Geosciences Division (SOPAC) and multilateral and bilateral development partners such as the United Nations Development Program (UNDP), GIZ and the Government of Australia. Countries have also made efforts to systematically implement their JNAPs by accessing domestic resources and financial resources available through bilateral and multilateral Official Development Assistance (ODA) and climate change finances (CCF). The purpose of this report is to review the JNAP development and implementation process, and assess lessons learnt for future JNAPs in the region. The review focuses on the Cook Islands and Tonga, which have made progress in implementing their JNAP strategies. These countries obtained support from development partners for JNAP implementation. The review also included Tuvalu, which has completed development of its JNAP with Government endorsement, and countries currently in the process of developing their JNAP Kiribati, Nauru, Niue and the Republic of Marshall Islands. Reference is also made to other countries such as Palau, Solomon Islands and Vanuatu, which chose alternative paths to their integration of CC and DRM.

RMSD meeting report

Status report: Pacific Islands reef and nearshore fisheries and aquaculture 2013.

Island and Ocean Ecosystems

Available Online

Secretariat of the Pacific Community (SPC)

This report discusses the status of Pacific Island reef fisheries for finfish and invertebrates, near- shore fisheries for pelagic fish (e.g. tunas), fisheries for demersal fish (e.g. deepwater snappers), and aquaculture. Effective fisheries management is needed to maximise the yields of demersal fish and invertebrates, and reduce the size of the 'food gap' between available seafood and that required to meet the needs of growing human populations in the Pacific Islands region. However, much of the additional seafood required will need to come from nearshore pelagic fish (tunas in particular) and aquaculture.

Climate Change Resilience, Island and Ocean Ecosystems

SPREP

The Pacific islands region is highly vulnerable to climate change. The vast majority of the islands’ inhabitants live on or near to the coast, including in low lying areas or river flood plains. Sea level rise, storm surges and severe weather are therefore a common threat to homes, communities, livelihoods, infrastructure and national economies. National and local economies of Pacific islands rely heavily on natural resources, which are extremely vulnerable to climate variability and change. Many islands, particularly the low-lying atolls, have limited water resources and depend on rainwater for their needs, a strategy which is increasingly precarious as the climate changes
