As part of the MacArthur Foundation funded project, ‘Enhancing coastal and marine ecosystem resilience to climate change impacts through strengthened coastal governance and conservations measures’1 , a national workshop on the ‘Integrated Coastal Fisheries Management (ICM) and Climate Change Adaptation’ was held from 13 to 16 October 2009 in Port Vila. The purpose of this workshop was to begin the necessary consultation and drafting of a ‘National Integrated Coastal Management Framework (NICMF)’ for Vanuatu.

UK Rodent Eradication Best Practice Toolkit
BRB

2018
The spread of invasive non-native species presents one of the greatest threats to biodiversity globally: invasive species are the primary driver of biodiversity loss on islands and the second largest everywhere else (CBD ; Millennium Ecosystem Assessment, 2005). Many of the UK’s island ecosystems have been damaged by the arrival and establishment of invasive non-native species. Introduced predators have caused particularly catastrophic damage to many species of waders and seabirds, undoubtedly causing numerous extirpations as well as contributing to ongoing declines(Stanbury et al. 2017). Removing invasive vertebrates from islands is an important conservation tool to protect and restore island ecosystems and to prevent further declines and losses of native species. The UK Rodent Eradication Best Practice Toolkit is intended as an advisory resource, providing a systematic approach for planning and implementing rodent eradications and biosecurity in the UK. It provides technical advice on specific methods to be used in the UK, as well as an eradication project management framework which is applicable to projects everywhere. This Best Practice Toolkit has been compiled, and contributed to, by several UK governmental and non-governmental organisations involved in island restoration, these being: Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB), Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA), Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra), GB Non-Native Species Secretariat (GB NNSS), Joint Nature Conservation Committee (JNCC), National Trust, National Trust for Scotland, Natural England, Natural Resources Wales (NRW), Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH), Scottish Wildlife Trust (SWT) and the Isles of Scilly Wildlife Trust. The Toolkit has also received input from Wildlife Management International Ltd (WMIL), and draws heavily from the documentation produced by WMIL for various rat eradication projects undertaken in the UK. The use of the UK Rodent Eradication Best Practice Toolkit aims to give UK organisations and practitioners the ability to embark on invasive rodent management projects with greater confidence of achieving the desired island restoration goals.

Climate wrongs and human rights: putting people at the heart of climate-change policy

In failing to tackle climate change with urgency, rich countries are effectively violating the human rights of millions of the world's poorest people. Continued excessive greenhouse-gas emissions primarily from industrialised nations are - with scientific certainty - creating floods, droughts, hurricanes, sea- level rise, and seasonal unpredictability. The result is failed harvests, disappearing islands, destroyed homes, water scarcity, and deepening health crises, which are undermining millions of peoples' rights to life, security, food, water, health, shelter, and culture. Such rights violations could never truly be remedied in courts of law. Human-rights principles must be put at the heart of international climate-change policy making now, in order to stop this irreversible damage to humanity's future.

Hello boys and girls. Climate change is the most talked about topic all over the world. This is because it will affect the lives of everyone, including all who live in our Pacific Islands. Scientists say that climate change might cause longer dry seasons and more rainfall during the wet season. They also say that our days may get hotter, our oceans warmer, and our sea levels higher. Our environment plays a big role in helping us tackle climate change. We can all play a part in helping reduce the impacts of climate change on our islands by taking care of our forests, our land, our mangroves and our reefs. By doing this we also help look after all the wonderful birds, animals, and fish that surround us. We hope this booklet will help show you some ways you can help tackle climate change. Now join Pou and Miri on their adventure. Happy reading! Dr Wulf Killmann, Programme Director, SPC/GIZ Coping with Climate Change in the Pacific Island Region Programme

Pacific Biodiversity

2009
The need for a Pacific Biodiversity Information Forum to provide a venue and support for biodiversity information needs in the Pacific Basin was established during the GBIF (Global Biodiversity Information Facility) meeting on Maui in May of 2002. Interested parties met again during the October 2003 GBIF meeting in Tsukuba, Japan and reaffirmed the need and began to draw up a governing structure for PBIF and identify specific biodiversity needs in the Pacific Basin that can be addressed through projects. The leadership and other interested parties met again at the April 2004 GBIF meeting in Oaxaca, Mexico to begin defining the organization. The interim organizing committee met again in October of 2005 in Wellington, New Zealand to define projects, responsibilities, timelines and deliverables.
