The handbook is a joint publication of Environment Canada and the University of Joensuu – United Nations Environment Programme Course on International Environmental Law-making and Diplomacy. Environment Canada initiated this project and provided core contributions for the main text. UNEP generously provided the glossary, as well as expert advice on the handbook as a whole.
The Action Plan was endorsed by PAWG members at the Annual Meeting and was presented to the 18th Pacific Islands Round Table (PIRT) Annual Meeting held in July 2015.
The information they contain needs to be considered in light of national conditions and circumstances.
Brief overview on the vision and benefits of the PIPAP portal
The aim of the inception workshop was to ensure that all 15 countries in the Pacific ACP Group of States were engaged for the second phase of BIOPAMA
PEBACC has four outputs:
1. Ecosystem and socio-economic resilience analysis and mapping (ESRAM) completed as a basis for adaptation planning at national, provincial and community levels.
2. EbA options analysed, prioritised and plans developed.
3. EbA plans implemented with demonstrated benefits.
4. Communications and outreach products developed to promote integration of EbA options into climate change policies, plans and projects.
This policy applies to SPREP’s own data as well as data held by SPREP on behalf of government agencies and partners within the Pacific.
The purpose of this policy is to:
• encourage the free exchange of data with other government agencies and partners within the Pacific and with the public in the Pacific and beyond
• promote the benefits of data sharing, and its links to good governance, accountability, public participation and the rule of law
This book is of worldwide benefit to people, for assessment and management of biological invasion risks
The purpose of this document is to support economic analysis in Pacific island countries (government and non-government organisations) by:
* illustrating the various steps involved in conducting a CBA using examples that are familiar to Pacific Islanders in context, content and challenges;
* providing practical tools to support local CBA; and
* promoting a consistent approach to CBA.
Because V. encelioides possesses numerous invasive characteristics and has already invaded many other parts of the world, it is important to develop a comprehensive understanding of the plant to limit its spread within Hawai‘i and prevent invasion of other Pacific island ecosystem
This fact sheet covers info on;
* What are aquatic invasive species?
* How are aquatic invasives introduced?
* Some facts about aquatic invasives
The main impacts of myna are on native birds and on people, by feeding on food crops such as papaya and tomato, nesting in buildings, and roosting in large, noisy night-time gatherings.
Documenting the recent progress in addressing a growing threat to ocean biodiversity and ecosystems
This review was prepared by the Pacific Invasives Initiative (PII) on request from the Pacific Invasives Partnership (PIP)
Species have been identified as having a high, medium or low vulnerability to the threat of climate change and have been categorised on the basis of a standardised assessment process. This leaflet summarises the emerging results from an assessment of CMS Appendix I species, in order to provide guidance to policy makers at the earliest opportunity
The workshop aimed to equip island countries, and countries with islands, with the tools and information needed for urgent responses to the threats associated with alien invasive species
