Marine atlas maximising benefits for Kiribati.
BRB
Available Online
2019
Kiribati’s marine ecosystems are worth at least AU$400 million per year, which is twice the country’s gross domestic product (GDP). We are strongly committed to sustaining these values to build an equitable and pros-perous blue economy
Marine atlas maximising benefits for Solomon Islands.

2019
Solomon Islands’ marine ecosystems are worth at least SI$2.6 billion per year comparable to the country’s total export value. We are strongly committed to sustaining these values to build an equitable and prosperous blue economy.
Designing Coastal Adaptation Strategies to Tackle Sea Level Rise
Climate Change Resilience, Island and Ocean Ecosystems

Bongarts Lebbe, Théophile

2021
Faced with sea level rise and the intensification of extreme events, human populations living on the coasts are developing responses to address local situations. A synthesis of the literature on responses to coastal adaptation allows us to highlight different adaptation strategies. Here, we analyze these strategies according to the complexity of their implementation, both institutionally and technically. First, we distinguish two opposing paradigms – fighting against rising sea levels or adapting to new climatic conditions; and second, we observe the level of integrated management of the strategies. This typology allows a distinction between four archetypes with the most commonly associated governance modalities for each. We then underline the need for hybrid approaches and adaptation trajectories over time to take into account local socio-cultural, geographical, and climatic conditions as well as to integrate stakeholders in the design and implementation of responses. We show that dynamic and participatory policies can foster collective learning processes and enable the evolution of social values and behaviors. Finally, adaptation policies rely on knowledge and participatory engagement, multi-scalar governance, policy monitoring, and territorial solidarity. These conditions are especially relevant for densely populated areas that will be confronted with sea level rise, thus for coastal cities in particular.
Summary for Policymakers : Climate change 2021 - The Physical Science Basis - Sixth Assessment Report
Climate Change Resilience
Available Online
2021
The Summary for Policymakers (SPM) presents the key findings of the Working Group I (WGI) contribution to the IPCC's Sixth Assessment Report (AR6) on the physical science basis of climate change. The report build upon the 2013 Working Group I contribution to the IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5) and the 2018-2019 IPCC Special Reports of the AR6 cycle and incorporates subsequent new evidence form climate science.
Climate Change 2022 - Impacts, Adaptation and Vulnerability Summary for Policymakers
Climate Change Resilience
Available Online
2022
This Summary for policymakers (SPM) presents key findings of the Working Group PP (WGII) contribution to the Sixth Assessment Report (AR6) of the IPCC. This report builds on the WGII contribution to the Fifth Assessment Report (AR5) of the IPCC, three special reports and the Working group I (WGI) contribution tot he AR6 cycle. This report recognizes the interdependence of climate ecosystems and biodiversity, and human societies and integrates knowledge more strongly across the natural, ecological, social and economic sciences than earlier IPCC assessments.

ARMENTANO. T.V.; DOREN, R.F.; PLATT, W.J., and MULLINS, T., 1995. Effects of Hurricane Andrew on coastal and interior forests of southern Florida: Overview and synthesis. Journal of Coastal Research, SI No. 21, pp. 111-144. Fort Lauderdale (Florida), ISSN 0749-0208. The effects of Hurrican Andrew upn the forests of south Florida as of early 1994 are summarized from studies conducted at sites located within the track of the storm as it passed across the peninsula. Updated information on the storm's track and eyewall configuration also is provided. Effects on slash pine savannas, hardwood hammocks, cypress domes and mangroves varied markedly but with some trends apparent. Severe damage and mortality of trees was greatest in mangrove forests where 59 to 85% of trees were killed, but vigorous seedling recruitment of red mangrove and sprouting of surviving black and white mangroves is now well underway. Severe effects in cypress domes was quite low, with only 4% mortality. In slash pine stands, over 80% of the trees were damaged, and mortality pattern was related to prior condition of the stands. Mortality in large, vigorous stands ranged from 17 to 24% but approached 100% in small remnant Miami rockridge pinelands located in developed eastern coastal areas. Tropical hardwood hammocks suffered extensive damage but only averaged 11.5% mortality and regrowth has been vigorous but not necessarily of the same species characterizing the pre-storm community. Overall mortality and damage increased with tree size except in hammocks where small trees were damaged or killed by limbs and crowns of larger trees. The extensive stands of exotic tree species were damaged but recovered quickly and vigorously. The potential of the expansion into hurricane-damaged habitats is one of several long-term concerns under investigation.
