The Pacific Island Nations are reclaiming their waters and reasserting their rights to manage their own resources by calling for the creation of the Pacific Commons Marine Reserves more...

Supporting Good Governance in the Pacific

In the majority of ADB developing member countries in the Pacific, progress is sluggish on social and economic development objectives, including the Millennium Development Goals.

Climate Resilience and Sustainable Urban Development in Pacific Developing Member Countries

beta.adb.org –

Small island countries like those in the Pacific are most vulnerable to the effects of climate change. The likelihood of extreme weather events such as sea level rise, extreme rainfall, droughts, increased and intensified tropical cyclones, and increase in sea surface temperature is expected to adversely impact Pacific DMCs economically, socially and environmentally. Alongside having to address climate change issues are the increasing and recurring urbanization issues which are exacerbated by more...

Climate and development knowledge brokers workshop

Climate and development knowledge brokers workshop

Access to reliable information, and the ability to share lessons and experience, are key ingredients in tackling climate change. This is a particular priority for developing countries, where the dual challenges of climate change and development are closely intertwined. Over the past decade, numerous websites, portals and online platforms have been set up to take on this ‘knowledge brokerage’ role, and more are being launched every year. But the ‘knowledge infrastructure’ within the climate and more...

Agritrade executive brief on Pacific EPA negotiations

agritrade.cta.int –

A particular problem in the region’s negotiations arises from the close trade relations of most of the countries with Australia and New Zealand (and for a few with the USA also). This means that free-trade negotiations are liable to trigger similar negotiations with these other partners. Accordingly, unlike the situation in other regions, the early focus of negotiations has been on non-trade issues, which has not been too problematic given the low volume of trade between the region and the EU. more...
