Book excerpt: This book presents papers written by scholars, practitioners, and members of social movements and government agencies pursuing research and/or climate change projects in the Pacific region. Climate change is impacting the Pacific in various ways, including numerous negative effects on the natural environment and biodiversity. As such, a better understanding of how climate change affects Pacific communities is required, in order to identify processes, methods, and tools that can help countries and the communities in the region to adapt and become more resilient. Further, the book showcases successful examples of how to cope with the social, economic, and political problems posed by climate change in the region.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book showcases vital lessons learned from research, field projects and best practice examples with regard to climate change adaptation in countries throughout the Pacific region, a part of the planet that is particularly vulnerable to and affected by climate change.The book's primary goals are to document the wealth of experiences in the region available today, to encourage cross-sector interactions among the various stakeholders in the region, and to help transfer results to other countries and regions. Accordingly, it gathers a set of papers presented at a symposium on climate change adaptation held in Fiji in July 2016, focusing on "Fostering Resilience and Improving the Quality of Life". In these contributions, local and international experts present a variety of initiatives showing how Pacific countries are coping with the many problems associated with climate change, including initiatives in education and awareness work taking place across the region, operational aspects and their implications for policy-making, and challenges in urban and rural areas.

Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2013 in the subject Politics - Topic: Development Politics, grade: A-, University of Miami (Department of International Studies), course: The Role of Foreign Aid in Development, language: English, abstract: This works sets out to place climate change in the context of its contemporary consequences by reference to the Pacific Adaptation to Climate Change program (PACC). This is important because, contrary to conventional discourse, complications and damages caused by climate change have already started to materialize. The PACC program will thus be outlined against the backdrop of this particular condition. There will be a description of PACC’s intended outcomes as well as of its stated priorities, which will both be related to the countries’ problems vis-à-vis climate change. Moreover, the funding mechanism underlying PACC will be delineated, providing an indication in terms of the United States’ financial involvement. The theoretical framework employed to situate PACC from the perspective of the United States will focus on a three-dimensional approach featuring diplomacy, security and humanitarian concerns, which all have interlocking implications. Since the PACC countries do not constitute a significant economic region, commercial imperatives were discarded. However, it is apparent that the PACC program could function as a pilot project in terms of improving climate change resilience, which may then be applied elsewhere. Therefore, it may have a wider significance with regard to the relationship between climate change and development.

This book was released on 2016-01-29 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses why, whether and how the existing legal framework on water management in China could make climate change adaptation a mainstream issue. The book uses a table to illustrate the distinctions and similarities between IWRM and water-centered adaptation to analyze the possibilities of mainstreaming adaptation. The new water-planning processes and EIA are also illustrated in the form of figures showing the differences after factoring in adaptation considerations. Interviews with water managers to obtain their perception and attitudes towards climate change adaptation offer new perspectives for readers. The adaptation- mainstreaming approach, which finds a way to balance various interests and tasks, will arouse the interests of those readers who argue that climate change is only one of the issues challenging water management, and that poverty reduction, environmental protection and living standard improvement are even more important. Readers will also be interested to discover that the adaptation mainstreaming approach could be applied in water management institutions such as water planning and EIA. In addition, the book offers a clear explanation of the challenges of adaptation to the existing water-related legal framework from a theoretical perspective, and provides theoretical and practical recommendations.

This book was released on 2019 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Small islands have received growing attention in the context of climate change. Rising sea-levels, intensifying storms, changing rainfall patterns and increasing temperatures force islanders to deal with and adapt to a changing climate. How do they respond to the challenge? What works, what doesn’t – and why? The present volume addresses these questions by exploring adaptation experiences in small islands across the world’s oceans from various perspectives and disciplines, including geography, anthropology, political science, psychology, and philosophy. The contributions to the volume focus on political and financial difficulties of climate change governance; highlight the importance of cultural values, local knowledge and perceptions in and for adaptation; and question to what extent mobility and migration constitute sustainable adaptation. Overall, the contributions highlight the diversity of island contexts, but also their specific challenges; they present valuable lessons for both adaptation success and failure, and emphasise island resilience and agency in the face of climate change.

Book excerpt: The Pilot Program for Climate Resilience (PPCR) is a funding window of the Climate Investment Funds, of which the Asian Development Bank (ADB) is a major partner in Asia and the Pacific, delivering investments through six country programs (Bangladesh, Cambodia, Nepal, Papua New Guinea, Tajikistan, and Tonga) and one regional program for the Pacific. This study looks back at the development of PPCR funding from an ADB perspective, documents the contributions of the PPCR to country readiness for adaptation planning and climate finance, and identifies some early lessons learned from Cambodia, Nepal, and Tajikistan.
