Regional Statement on the Climate of 2016/17 and Climate and Tropical Cyclone Outlook for the Pacific Islands

Third Pacific Islands Climate Outlook Forum (PICOF-3)

2017
Climate in late 2016 and early-mid 2017| The Pacific has seen El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) neutral conditions in the past year. Near La Niña conditions were present in late 2016 and near El Niño conditions developed in the eastern parts of the Pacific in early 2017;| Associated with the above was below normal rainfall in the central Pacific (Kiribati, Tuvalu and northern Cook Islands) from late 2016 to early 2017 and below normal rainfall in the south Pacific e.g. Vanuatu and Fiji from about May 2017. In New Caledonia, rainfall was the lowest on record from June to August 2017. Also in June and July, rainfall was above normal in the vicinity of the New Guinea Islands and the northern Solomon Islands;| The 2016-17 South Pacific tropical cyclone season (November to April) was the least active since 2011-12, and one of the quietest on record with only four cyclones occurring east of 160°E.

South Pacific Regional Writeshop Evaluation

Pacific Research and Evaluation Associates

2015
The Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI) and the International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (ISDR) collaborated with implementing partner SPREP to host a five day ‘Writeshop’ (workshop) in Fiji in 2011. The Writeshop was funded by the UNITAR Climate Change Capacity and Development (C3D+) Support programme. The objective/outcomes of the Writeshop were twofold: 1. To build capacity of young Pacific country scholars, practitioners and policymakers to write quality publishable papers in the area of climate change, particularly on climate change adaptation and the linkages to disaster risk reduction. 2. To produce quality publishable papers ready for peer-review and facilitate the publication of peer-reviewed articles in academic journals to inform the policy making process on climate change. This Writeshop evaluation was informed by desktop research, an online survey and interviews with some key stakeholders. The evaluation was guided by a set of evaluation questions. · Were approximately 16 quality publishable papers published in academic journals as a result of the Writeshop? · What factors have contributed to achieving or not achieving intended outputs and outcomes of the C3D+ project? · What progress toward the outcomes has been made by the C3D+ project? Has the C3D+ partnership between UNITAR and SPREP been appropriate and effective? · To what extent have the C3D+ project outputs and assistance contributed to outcomes of the PACC programme?

One of the key deliverables of the Forum Compact is to track the progress of Forum island countries (FICs) towards achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), which is the main purpose of this report. The MDGs assessment in this report is not strictly made the global targets, as the assessments are contextualised to country realities and supplemented by proxy data and qualitative information.
State of the Pacific - Slippery Slopes and Rough Rides in Regional Cooperative Endeavours in the Islands. In SSGM Discussion Paper 2016/8

Transform Aqorau

2016
This discussion paper results from a speech prepared for the keynote address at the 2016 State of the Pacific Conference, held at the Australian National University (ANU) in Canberra, Australia, 13-15 September. In it Dr. Aqorau discusses the state of regional cooperative affairs int he Pacific Islands, particularly with respect to fisheries, through his own observations, but not as he puts it 'an academic sweep of our complex region. I want it to be rooted in the perceptions and experiences of an Islander!'

International environmental policy and governance issues: science-policy interface - Summary of the Sixth Global Environment Outlook Regional Assessments: Key Findings and Policy Messages
Available Online

United Nations

2016
The present note summarizes the key findings and policy messages stemming from the Global Environment Outlook (GEO-6) assessments conducted for the six United Nations Environment Programme regions (Africa, Asia and the Pacific, Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean, North America and West Asia), pursuant to resolution 1/4 of the first session of the United Nations Environment Assembly. Each GEO-6 regional assessment includes a review of regional priorities, the state of the environment in the region, the main trends that will affect the region’s environment in the future and an analysis of the actions needed for the region to achieve a more sustainable future. The findings will provide key inputs for the global GEO-6 assessment and for relevant regional and national forums and processes. The summaries of the GEO-6 regional assessments were endorsed at a series of regional meetings convened in March and April 2016 with members of the GEO-6 High-level Intergovernmental and Stakeholder Advisory Group (HLG).

World Heritage Convention

2008
Buffer zones are an important tool for conservation of properties inscribed on the World Heritage List. All along the history of implementation of the World Heritage Convention, the protection of the "surroundings" of inscribed properties was considered an essential component of the conservation strategy, for cultural and natural sites alike.
