Book excerpt: The South Pacific Regional Environment Programme has evaluated the Plan and is now sponsoring its incorporation in aregional wetlands action plan that will prescribe strategies for effective implementation. The workshop and follow-up activities have reised awareness of wetland benefits and issue in the South Pacific and catalysed the development of regional partnerships and a regional wetlands conservation program (Wetlands International - Oceania Program (formerly Asian Wetland Bureau - Oceania Program)) to serve the needs of countries of this region.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume examines environmental law and governance in the Pacific, focusing on the emerging challenges this region faces. The Pacific is home to some of the world’s most astonishing biological and cultural diversity. At the same time, Pacific Island nations are economically and technically under-resourced in the face of tremendous environmental challenges. Destructive weather events, ocean acidification, mining, logging, overfishing, and pollution increasingly degrade ecosystems and affect fishing, farming, and other cultural practices of Pacific Islanders. Accordingly, there is an urgent need to understand and analyse the role of law and governance in responding to these pressures in the Pacific. Drawing on academic and practitioner expertise from the Pacific region, as well as Europe and the United States, this unique collection navigates the major environmental law and governance challenges of the present and future of the Pacific. Environmental Law and Governance in the Pacific discusses 21 Pacific Island countries and territories, including Cook Islands, Fiji, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, and Samoa, and a broad range of themes, such as deep-sea mining, wetlands and mangroves, heritage, endangered species, human rights, and access to justice, are addressed, thus providing a comprehensive and state-of-the-art overview of environmental law and governance within specific jurisdictions as well as across the Pacific region as a whole. This volume will be essential reading for students and scholars interested in environmental law and governance in the Pacific region, as well as policy-makers, practitioners and NGOs involved in the development and implementation of environmental law and policy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Climate change threatens health everywhere. Populations around the world are more frequently and intensely affected by extreme weather events, threats to food and water security, outbreaks of waterborne and vector-borne diseases, and the increased pressure on scarce resources triggering climate-related migration and conflicts. Nowhere can these threats lead to more serious consequences than in the Pacific island countries and areas (PICs). The combination of extreme exposure to climate-related disasters (e.g. cyclones, floods, droughts) and long-term sea level rise, coupled with geographically dispersed populations in remote small islands with fragile health systems, means that climate change is an existential threat to the Pacific islanders. For this reason, WHO started working with PICs from the year 2000, to develop national climate change and health action plans based on the vulnerability and capacity assessments of most Pacific nations. With WHO support, the most vulnerable countries in the Pacific are currently developing large-scale five-year projects to build climate-resilient health systems. In recent years, the voice of the Pacific leaders has become even more ardent with increasing force and urgency. The right to health in the face of climate change, and the particular vulnerabilities of the Small Island Developing States (SIDS) were recognized in the Paris Agreement in 2015. The World Health Assembly and the Regional Committee for the Western Pacific have prioritized the health impacts of climate change, including through Western Pacific Regional Framework for Action on Health and Environment on a Changing Plane t (2016). In January 2018, the 142nd session of the WHO Executive Board endorsed "health impacts of climate and environmental change in SIDS and Vulnerable States" as one of the top priorities of WHO work for the period 2019-2023.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Recognizing the growing need for information on how to better prepare for and respond to climate-related impacts on the nation's living marine resources and resource-dependent communities, NOAA Fisheries developed a Climate Science Strategy (Link et al. 2015) to provide a national framework designed to be customized and implemented at regional and national levels by NMFS Science Centers, Regional Offices, Programs, and partners. The development of Regional Action Plans (RAPs) addresses the unique combination of ecosystem conditions, climate-related challenges, capabilities, and information needs that will need to be considered to implement the Strategy in each region. The Pacific Islands Regional Action Plan presented here begins by reviewing the region’s current or recent climate activities and results, noting strengths, weakness, and opportunities. The second part of the Plan outlines directions for the region's climate activities over the next 5 years following the seven (7) research objectives identified in the NOAA Fisheries Climate Science Strategy"--Introduction.
