BACKGROUND:
The South Pacific Sea Level and Climate Monitoring Project (SPSLCMP) was developed in 1991 as an Australian Government response to concerns raised by member countries of the South Pacific Forum over the potential impacts of human-induced global warming on climate and sea levels in the Pacific region.
Its primary goal is to generate an accurate record of variance in long-term sea level for the South Pacific and to establish methods to make these data readily available and usable by Pacific Island countries.
The first three phases of the project established a network of 12

Summary:
Description
This project (PACC ) will implement long-term adaptation measures to increase the resilience of a number of key development sectors in the Pacific islands to the impacts of climate change. This objective will be achieved by focusing on adaptation response strategies, policies and measures to bring about this result.
The key development sectors this project will focus on are:
Project Components:
- National adaptive capacity developed
- Community vulnerability to climate change reduced
- Technical assistance & Regional Cooperation
Expected Outputs:
- 1.1 Technical capacity of key decision makers developed
- 1.2 Institutional coordination mechanisms established
- 1.3 Tools to assess economic costs of adaptation developed and utilized
- 1.4 Legislative and policy directives prepared and adopted
Pilot adaptation project implemented in:
- 2.1 Coastal management in the Cook Islands, Federated States of Micronesia, Samoa, Tokelau and Vanuatu
- 2.2 Managing climate change risks in community based agricultural practices Fiji, Papua New Guinea, Palau and Solomon Islands
- 2.3 Climate change resilient water management practices at the community level in Nauru, Niue, Tonga, Marshall Islands and Tuvalu
- 3.1 Technical guidance provided for implementation of national adaptatio
- 3.2 Best practices and lessons exchanged among countries through SPREP
- 3.3 Project website established at SPREP

n/aSummary:
The Coral Triangle (CT) is the center of the world's coral reef diversity, holding more than 75% of the known coral species and about 3000 species of reef fish among other reef flora and fauna. These resources directly provide livelihoods for more than 20 million people and are the spawning grounds for the world's most valuable tuna fishery while supporting a robust and growing marine tourism industry.
Project Components:
* Marine Conservation * Enabling Environment * Building marine resource and community resilience * Management for resilience * Improved MMAs network planning and effectiveness * Sustainable financing * Coordination and Harmonization * Watershed and Coastal resources (Ridge to Reef) Management * Legal and policy framework
Expected Outputs:
In targeting the development of broad-scale resilience strategies (social, economic and biological), this project is innately designed to reduce vulnerability to various forms of risk including the impacts of climate change.
