Preparatory Survey on the Project for Construction of Pacific Climate Change Centre in the Independent State of Samoa

Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA)

Small island countries, spread over the Pacific region, are extremely susceptible to natural disasters. Since concerns are growing that natural disaster may occur more frequently and become more intensified in the region in the future as climate change worsens, it is urgent and therefore important to establish a base inside the region and develop human resources in this field in order to respond to climate change and disaster prevention. Against this background, formulation of the "Strategy for Climate and Disaster Resilient Development in the Pacific (2017 to 2030)" is under way in the region led by international regional organizations and UNDP. The Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (hereinafter referred to as SPREP), the implementing body of the Project for Construction of Pacific Climate Change Centre, is an international agency established in 1993 by 26 countries and territories (including 14 island countries called Pacific Island Countries, or PICs) and the headquarters in Apia, the capital of Samoa. As one of the central agencies promoting regional-level efforts in the Pacific region for climate change, SPREP is making comprehensive efforts in the field, including the above development strategy, the formulation and implementation of climate change adaptation and mitigation measures in collaboration with donor agencies, and human resource development aimed at increasing its say on the international stage.

Forests & Climate Change

SPC

We can reduce the amount of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere by reducing the areas of forest removed and trees cut down. This can be done by:|preventing the conversion of forests to another land use type (eg. proper land use planning of forest areas to minimise forest clearance instead of completely clearing the forest to establish cash crop plantations or pasture land);|applying less destructive timber harvesting techniques (eg. select only suitable trees to harvest and ensure minimum environmental disturbance when putting in logging roads and tracks);|practising farming systems that minimise the removal of trees (eg. apply agroforestry farming systems);|conserving forests that are under threat of being removed.

The Federated States of Micronesia (FSM) submitted its Initial National Communication in October, 1999. This Second National Communication uses it as the baseline to document the increases in FSM's vulnerability to climate change, and changes in its greenhouse gas emissions, since the Initial National Communication was prepared. This National Communication also reports on the efforts FSM is making to reduce its emissions and to identify and implement adaptation options that reduce climate risks.

Pacific Island countries and territories already face a range of development challenges due to their specific geographic and socio-economic characteristics, and their generally high exposure to natural hazards. The projected changes to the climate of the Pacific Island region over the coming decades present another challenging dimension that the region will need to grapple with. These changes could compromise the very ability of Pacific communities to meet their economic development needs.
