March 2021 - The Coastal Fisheries Division, in collaboration with CDRC –MoE, have conducted a full-day 'Training of Trainers' workshop on the use of fisheries resource kits for teachers on Abemama island. 

March 2021 - A team of officials from the Tourism Authority of Kiribati (TAK) have spent two weeks on Abemama island leading on eco-tourism activities and giving support and outreach to potential and/or established eco-tourism businesses on the island. Their tasks included preparation of their stakeholder villages for the Cultural Trade Show, initiating consultations on eco-tourism promotion, and conducting various relative surveys on the island.

Two teams from the Agriculture Department have returned from Maiana and Nonouti islands after spending two weeks for food security enhancement activities, including the distribution of seedlings, chickens and pigs and training in farming techniques.

Activity report from a team from the Coastal Fisheries Division in Tanaea, Kiribati, upon return from Abemama island having successfully carried out coral planting and seagrass restoration. The main goal of the activities was to help restore the health of these two marine habitats (coral and seagrass) to support the ecosystem for coastal marine species and to build the island's resilience to climate change.

This Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) has been prepared in support of the Tuvalu Coastal Adaptation Project being implemented by the Government of Tuvalu and UNDP with funding provided by the Green Climate Fund (GCF).

The project will provide highly needed coastal protection infrastructure, both in the form of hard and soft infrastructure to protect the people of Tuvalu in the face of climate change, increasing sea level rise and impacts from more severe cyclones.

The Nature for Life Hub will offer a virtual venue for multiple events over four days. Featuring activists, influencers, leaders, and businesses, these events will provide new and dynamic content that will be hosted by partners, and broadcast live through this website. Over the four days, the virtual hub will take audiences on various thematic journeys, delving deep into specialist topics, practical solutions and ambitious actions that are paving a path towards a nature-positive future.

Welcome to a global celebration of ChangeMakers like you from around the world.

Like you, we know action on climate does not stop with governments.

Every day, we see brilliantly diverse and inspiring climate actions all over the world and we want to celebrate it - From community campaigns in Mombasa, to industrial decarbonization in Guangzhou. From youth activism across 7500 cities, to everyday climate commitments by the people of Sao Paulo. We welcome you to join us – to share your stories, make a pledge and be inspired by others doing the same.

Gender equality is a fundamental human right. The Tuvalu Coastal Adaptation Project (TCAP) was formulated cognizant of this right. Distinct effort has been made to promote gender equality and increase socio-economic gender empowerment in the project implementation. In the Funding Proposal (FP) Output 3.1 of the project envisaged that “all outer islands strategic plans and annual budgets integrate island-specific climate risks through existing gender responsive, participatory processes”.

The stakeholder management plan is used for: planning the engagement of stakeholders, developing strategies to reduce or eliminate resistance, valuing local knowledge and experience and creating strategies to increase sharing, support and buy-in. Because planning for stakeholder management generates activities, this plan becomes an input to other subsidiary plans.

There is growing recognition that local organisations, people and communities need to lead or be meaningfully involved in the response to the climate, biodiversity and poverty crisis. The Least Developed Countries (LDCs) are leading a call for localising international climate adaptation finance, a crucial resource to support local actors and help developing countries respond to and prepare for worsening climate.

This case study chronicles Viet Nam’s experiences in conducting vulnerability and risk assessments (VRAs) of selected agriculture sectors at the national level and a cost-benefit analysis (CBA) to support sectoral adaptation planning, budgeting, and policy formulation. Lessons learned from these endeavors can provide insights for other countries who are seeking, like Viet Nam, to develop an evidence-based and climate risk-informed National Adaptation Plan (NAP) and/or adaptation plans for the agriculture sector.

 

Le Géoportail du PGRCI (www.geoportail-pgrci) est une base de données spatiale en ligne qui permet de visualiser et de télécharger des produits cartographiques en lien avec les activités au projet ou développés au cours des différentes études commanditées par le projet.

The evaluation found that NAP-Ag’s country-driven, multi-sector and multi-level approach allowed for ample engagement of stakeholders, contributed to establish coordination mechanisms and promoted ownership of results. The approach was qualitative and included a questionnaire, extensive documentation review and interviews with key-stakeholders in all countries.

For the past 10 years, local communities and societies have been investing in resilience-building with support from the Small Grants Programme (SGP), which is supported by the Global Environment Facility and implemented by the United Nations Development Programme, with partnership and funding from the Australian Government’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT).

TCAP has finalized the detail design for Funafuti Coastal Adaptation – Reclamation land approximately 250,000 cubic meters of sand from the lagoon to create a 780m long, 100m wide elevated area of land along the Vaiaku waterfront to the north of Queen Elisabeth Park. The Government of Tuvalu has approved the design with the maximum elevation of +5.75m above chart datum which is equivalent to 2.4m above contemporary HAT (Highest Astronomical Tide).

Tuvalu is the fourth smallest nation in the world in land area with a population of just over 10,000. It is one of the most vulnerable countries in the world to the impacts of climate change and particularly sea-level rise and the possibility of intensifying storm events. Recent cyclones have caused population displacement, significant loss and damage of infrastructure as well as destruction of agricultural resources, contamination of ground water and changes in shoreline systems. Such impacts negatively affect the wellbeing of communities and long-term sustainable development aspirations.

The CivTech Alliance is a worldwide network of public, private and third sector organisations working across civic and gov tech to support and nurture an ecosystem developing products and services which make citizens’ lives better.

This paper presents a methodology for public expenditure review and analysis for climate change adaptation and mitigation in the agricultural sector. It outlines the basic methodological concepts, including the classification of public expenditures in the context of their links to climate change adaptation and mitigation. It also illustrates how such analysis can usefully contribute to policy decision making to better achieve the climate change adaptation and mitigation goals using the case study of Uganda.

UNDP has been implementing NbS to support climate adaptation and m
