Description
Small Island Developing States (SIDS) are recognized under the United Nations Framework for Climate Change as being the most vulnerable parties to the adverse impacts of climate change. The key outcomes of this project are to enhance scientific, economic and human adaptive capacity of Pacific SIDS to climate change and related hazards risks, with specific focus on CCA to tropical cyclones, sea level rise and storm surges, vulnerability and impact assessments of climate sensitive sectors (tourism, fisheries and agriculture) through the application of participatory approaches, economic analysis of the implication of global climate change policies and measures on Pacific SIDS, in terms of their potential participation in the international carbon market and transfer and diffusion of clean technologies and to improve links between climate change science and policy communities.
