These guidelines detail the process, timeline, and steps taken to complete a State of Environment Report.
The assessment is structured in two related parts:
1. State, pressures and threats.
2. Response.
An overview of the purpose and how Aqua Maps work.
documentation pertaining to the sources in which each info on the database were harvested from.
The assessment is based on long-term observation series of the large scale features that influence the climate and weather of Pacific CMSs.
Effects of climate change on sea levels and inundation in the Pacific region
Effects of climate change on corals
The Pacific region is already having to address loss and damage, where climate change impacts exceed the limits of adaptation. In a 1.5˚C scenario these losses will be greater than today, however with planning and investment it will be possible for many Pacific island societies to adapt to the impacts of climate change in order to minimize these losses and to develop more resilient societies.
This report card provides an easy-to-read, scientifically robust summary of what we know about marine and coastal climate change impacts in the Pacific.
This guidebook is an unprecedented effort by NOAA’s Office of National Marine Sanctuaries, the IUCN Commission on Education and Communication (CEC) and the IUCN World Commission on Protected Areas-Marine (WCPA) to inspire a
new view on communication.
This book help people manage coral reefs and other coastal ecosystems, especially to solve problems that flow from nearby (catchment) watershed areas.
