Introduction – the Pacific
• vast distances
• many isolated islands
• vulnerability to climate change
• limited capacity
• the Pacific Ocean - our lifeblood

Predictions from IPCC by 2100 (4 scenarios)
• Temperatures increases up to 4.8 degrees C
• Sea level rise predictions up to 97cms
• Continuing and accelerating ocean acidification
• More very hot days
• Changing rainfall patterns
• More intense tropical cyclones

Impacts and responses
• Pacific Heads of Governments - climate change is the most important threat facing the Pacific region
• 2013 Pacific Islands Forum adopted the “Majuro Declaration for Climate Leadership”

Integration of Disaster Risk Reduction and Climate Change approaches
• The Pacific faces major challenges with natural disasters and climate change
• The combination of disasters and climate change is the major threat to livelihoods and sustainable development in the Pacific
• Pacific Leaders have asked that approaches to climate change and natural disasters be integrated at national and regional levels

Integration of Disaster Risk Reduction and Climate Change approaches
• Why have an integrated approach ? (a) many of the responses are similar; (b) limited capacity and resources make this a sensible and practical approach; (c) integration ensures that synergies are identified and applied
![Page 54: NEED FOR ECOSYSTEM BASED ADAPTATION AND DISASTER RISK REDUCTION … · 2014. 10. 16. · Integration of Disaster Risk Reduction and Climate Change approaches •The Pacific faces](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051901/5ff0c2a38540c36b5543be4d/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Integration of Disaster Risk Reduction and Climate Change approaches
• At national levels many countries are combining agencies responsible for climate change and disaster management and developing JNAPs. At regional levels an Integrated DRR/CC Strategy is being developed
![Page 55: NEED FOR ECOSYSTEM BASED ADAPTATION AND DISASTER RISK REDUCTION … · 2014. 10. 16. · Integration of Disaster Risk Reduction and Climate Change approaches •The Pacific faces](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051901/5ff0c2a38540c36b5543be4d/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Pacific Island Meteorological Strategy (PIMS)
• Developed following a major review in 2009-2010
• Review underlined importance of
Met Services and led to the establishment of the Pacific Meteorological Council (PMC), the Pacific Met Desk, and the PIMS
• The PIMS highlights 14 priority
areas linked to the WMO RAV Strategic Plan 2012-15 and has a focus on improving weather and climate services.

IMPLICATIONS FOR THE FUTURE
![Page 57: NEED FOR ECOSYSTEM BASED ADAPTATION AND DISASTER RISK REDUCTION … · 2014. 10. 16. · Integration of Disaster Risk Reduction and Climate Change approaches •The Pacific faces](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051901/5ff0c2a38540c36b5543be4d/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
Implications for the future • Pacific countries and SPREP must
develop effective partnerships to address these challenges, including with the Government and people of Japan
• Support provided from Japan has been most welcome and appreciated. We should “build on success” such as the J-PRISM Project
![Page 58: NEED FOR ECOSYSTEM BASED ADAPTATION AND DISASTER RISK REDUCTION … · 2014. 10. 16. · Integration of Disaster Risk Reduction and Climate Change approaches •The Pacific faces](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051901/5ff0c2a38540c36b5543be4d/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
Implications for the future
• Ecosystem based adaptation is increasingly recognized as an essential response to climate change and natural disasters in the Pacific
• Support from donors and partners, including the Government of Japan, should include a priority on ecosystem based approaches.

Implications for the future
• Pacific countries have much to learn from the experience of Japan and conferences - such as this one in Okinawa - are very important
• Increased involvement of researchers from Japanese universities should be encouraged, working with Pacific countries as well as SPREP and USP

Conclusions • The Pacific faces major challenges
from climate change and natural disasters
• The Government and people of Japan can - and do - play an important role in providing support for Pacific island countries and we look forward to this continuing.
