Asia-Pacific regional climate change adaptation assessment - Findings and recommendations : final report
Available Online
2020
The developing countries of the Asia-Pacific region are very diverse economically, politically, socially and culturally. Face similar development and environmental challenges related to poverty alleviation, sustainable economic development, increased urbanization and greater rural-urban migration, environmental degradation and the frequent incidence of natural disasters, such as earthquakes and tsunamis.
Pacific ecosystem-based adaptation to climate change : Strengthening and protecting natural ecosystem services to enhance resilience to climate change

2020
This synthesis report provides an overview of the project and its activities, including the Ecosystem and Socio-economic Resilience Analysis and Mapping (ESRAM) studies, which were the foundation for the development of ecosystembased adaptation (EbA) options in the three countries. It outlines the selected EbA demonstration initiatives and highlights the successes and lessons learnt in implementing these options at provincial, island and local/village level. Synthesis reports outlining the findings of the Ecosystem and Socio-economic Resilience Analysis and Mapping (ESRAM) studies are available separately.

The world’s climate is changing. The most recent Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) assessment of the climate science concluded that: Warming of the climate system is unequivocal, and since the 1950's, many of the observed changes are unprecedented over decades to millennia. The atmosphere and ocean have warmed, the amounts of snow and ice have diminished, sea level has risen, and the concentrations of greenhouse gases have increased.

This book series Theory and Practice of Urban Sustainability Transitions is intended to explore the different dynamics, challenges, and breakthroughs in accelerating sustainability transitions in urban areas across the globe. We expect to find as much different and diverse stories, visions, experiments, and creative actors as there are cities: from metropolises to country towns, from inner city districts to suburbs, from developed to developing, from monocultural to diverse, and from hierarchical to egalitarian. But we also expect to find patterns in processes and dynamics of transitions across this diversity. Transition dynamics include locked-in regimes that are challenged by changing contexts, ecological stress and societal pressure for change as well as experiments and innovations in niches driven by entrepreneurial networks, and creative communities and proactive administrators. But also included are resistance by vested interests and sunken costs, uncertainties about the future amongst urban populations, political instabilities, and the erosion of social services and systems of provision. And finally there are the forming of transformative arenas, the development of coalitions for change across different actor groups, the diffusion and adoption of new practices, and exponential growth of sustainable technologies. For this series we seek this middle ground: between urban and transition perspectives, between conceptual and empirical, and between structural and practical. We aim to develop this series to offer scholars state-of-the-art theoretical developments applied to the context of cities. Equally important is that we offer urban planners, professionals, and practitioners interested or engaged in strategic interventions to accelerate and guide urban sustainability transition frameworks for understanding and dealing with on-going developments, methods, and instruments. This book series will lead to new insights into how cities address the sustainability challenges they face by not returning to old patterns but by searching for new and innovative methods and instruments that are based on shared principles of a transitions approach. Based on concrete experiences, state-of-the-art research, and ongoing practices, the series provides rich insights, concrete and inspiring cases as well as practical methods, tools, theories, and recommendations. The book series, informed by transition thinking as it was developed in the last decade in Europe, aims to describe, analyse, and support the quest of cities around the globe to accelerate and stimulate such a transition to sustainability. To sum up, the book series aims to: – Provide theory, case studies, and contextualized tools for the governance of urban transitions worldwide – Provide a necessary and timely reflection on current practices of how transition management is and can be applied in urban contexts worldwide – Further the theorizing and conceptual tools relating to an understanding of urban sustainability transitions – Provide best practices of cities across countries and different kinds of cities as well as across policy domains in shaping their city’s path towards sustainability

Republic of Nauru Framework for Climate Change Adaptation and Disaster Risk (RONAdapt)
Available Online

Government of the Republic of Nauru

2015
This document represents the Government of Nauru's response to the risks to sustainable development posed by climate change and disasters. It aims to do two things. First, it identifies immediate priorities relating to climate change adaptation (CCA) and disaster risk reduction (DRR), in order to clearly articulate these for all government ministries, state owned enterprises, the private sector, civil society, communities and development partners to engage with. These priorities are described in Section 4. Second, it provides a general framework for longer term planning and programming of CCA and DRR activities, including guidance on their mainstreaming in national and sectoral development policies. This includes setting out the key principles that are expected to guide CCA and DRR planning in Nauru, as well as clarity on the roles and responsibilities of different stakeholders.
