Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme Climate change impacts in the Pacific Impacts of sea level rise - storm surges, coastal erosion, resettlement Increased incidence of extreme events such as floods, droughts and cyclones which threaten freshwater supply. Reefs and Marine Resources will be adversely affected. Increased in ocean temperatures, coral bleaching, progressive acidification of oceans. Agriculture will be affected. Coastal plains, where most of our agriculture is based, can be salinised due to sea-level rise and become less productive. Increased natural disasters will damage crops and warmer, wetter climate will favour the breeding of pests. Disease prevalence will increase as warmer, wetter conditions favour the breeding of disease carrying insects such as mosquitoes (spreading dengue and malaria) and aquatic pathogens such as giardia.

Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme The problem Gaps in information Information is scattered Information overload Lack of integration of information amongst key stakeholders Multiple information needs Multiple information users

Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme Information Needs Climate and Ocean Data GIS / Mapping Information for the region Forecasting tools Access to Research Output & Analysis Case Studies Practical Guidelines Lessons Learned Traditional knowledge and practices

Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme Multiple user groups Policy makers Meteorological officers Coastal managers Resource sector – agriculture, fisheries, forestry NGOs Community & Grassroots

Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme Currently a number of resource access points for Pacific climate information Pacific Islands Global Climate Observing System (PI-GCOS) Pacific Island Global Ocean Observing System (PI-GOOS) Pacific Islands Ocean Observing System (PI-OOS) Pacific Regional Environment Programme Climate Change Portal NOAA Climate Resources WWF Pacific Climate Change Portal Pacific Climate Information Service (PaCIS)

Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme The challenge The development of an integrated inter- agency Pacific climate change portal that provides access to all relevant resources in a format that meets the varied information needs of a wide range of users

Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme Key Players SPREP SOPAC NOAA East-West Centre WWF Pacific WMO Pacific UNESCO Pacific PI-GCOS, PI-GOOS, PacIOOS ….

Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme The way forward Inter-agency Meetings scheduled as part of Pacific Climate Roundtable [Apia, Samoa. Oct. 2008] Project will be housed on the IPRC server at the University of Hawaii Portal will use Joomla interface Partners will be encouraged to contribute and maintain information resources hosted on the regional portal

Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme The NOAA Climate Change Portal Project Targets coastal managers in the Pacific Region Partnership between OCRM, Coastal Services Center and NOAA Library Pilot project 17

Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme 18 NOAA Project Goals Enable coastal managers to incorporate readily accessible climate information and tools into their decision-making processes Promote enhanced communication and collaboration in the Pacific region Replicate the portal design in other regions

Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme The Audience Focus on American Samoa and Samoa Pacific Islands Expand to cover US regions

Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme 20 The Process Identifying Needs Coastal managers in American Samoa and Samoa Coastal managers stateside  Identifying Resources Interviewing NOAA employees and others Internet and journal searches

Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme IAMSLIC Role IAMSLIC members in the Pacific can provide feedback to the Portal team – we want to avoid duplication of effort The team welcomes comments and suggestions – how can this project complement and support other efforts in the Pacific What products do Pacific Islanders need from NOAA to help adapt and cope with climate change? The team would welcome volunteers to test usability of both Portal and Virtual Library
