Enhancing Climate Information and Knowledge Services for resilience in 5 island countries of the Pacific Ocean
Enhancing Climate Information and Knowledge Services for resilience in 5 island countries of the Pacific Ocean
Rising sea levels, increases in extreme waves, tropical cyclones and storms, and changing rainfall patterns are exacerbating extreme coastal hazards. As a result, the ecosystems on which Pacific island populations rely for their livelihoods are increasingly threatened and at risk of destruction.Â
The high vulnerability to climate change impacts and climate-related hazards of the five programme countries arises from their geography, the exposure of their populations and their lack of resilience to shocks. The limited adaptation capacity is worsened by financial and human resource constraints and is compounded by an economic reliance on particularly climate sensitive sectors such as subsistence farming, fisheries and tourism. The programme countries therefore require reliable, timely and actionable information and early warning on their local weather, climate and ocean environments, as well as science-based advice on adaptation planning and early action for longer term climate change impacts. Â
This project aims to support increased climate-resilient sustainable development of 100,000 beneficiaries in the Cook Islands, Niue, Palau, the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI) and Tuvalu through the achievement of three outcomes: Â
- increased generation and use of climate information in decision making; Â
- strengthened adaptive capacity and reduced exposure to climate risks; and Â
- strengthened awareness of climate threats and risk-reduction processes.Â

Tuvalu: Gathering the data to climate-proof coastal infrastructure investments
30 Nov 2021 / The Tuvalu Coastal Adaptation Project (TCAP) is helping the Pacific atoll nation of Tuvalu to develop a long-term coastal adaptation strategy. This Green Climate Fund project, implemented by UNDP, is using airborne LIDAR, a state-of-the-art airplane-mounted technology, to collect precise information on land surface height and seafloor depth. The data will help model future climate-impact scenarios, allowing better planning of coastal infrastructure investments to protect vulnerable communities.
