  1. Priority Adaptation to Climate Change in Fisheries and Integrated Coastal Resource ManagementSPC-FAO Workshop Marilou Drilon Pacific Department Asian Development Bank SPC Headquarters, Noumea, New Caledonia5-8 June 2012

  2. Outline Coral Triangle Initiative (CTI) Regional Plan of Action Coral Triangle in the Pacific Impact and Outcome Country Priorities Climate Change Adaptation Financing Conclusion

  3. CTI Regional Plan of Action I.Priority seascapes designated and effectively managed Priority seascapes designated with investment plans completed and sequenced. Marine and coastal resources within all “Priority Seascapes” are being sustainably managed. II. Ecosystem approach to fisheries management (EAFM) and other marine resources fully applied strong legislative, policy and regulatory frameworks in place for achieving EAFM Improved income, livelihoods and food security of people in coastal communities across the region through a sustainable coastal fisheries and poverty reduction initiative (“COASTFISH”). By 2020, effective measures in place to ensure exploitation of shared tuna stocks is sustainable, with tuna spawning areas and juvenile growth stages adequately protected. A more effective management a more sustainable trade in live-reef fish (LRF) and reef-based ornamentals achieved.

  4. CTI Regional Plan of Action Marine protected areas established and effectively managed A region-wide Coral Triangle MPA System (CTMPAS) in place and fully functional. IV. Strengthened Capacity in climate change adaptation Region-wide early action plan for climate adaptation for the near-shore marine and coastal environment developed. Networked national centers of excellence on climate change adaptation for marine and coastal environments are established and in full operation V. Threatened species status improved By 2020, improved status of sharks, sea turtles, marine mammals and other identified threatened species.

  5. Coral Triangle in the Pacific Impact and Outcome Ensure food security Build climate change resilience Halting the decline in ecosystem productivity Sustainable local community development

  6. Pacific Countries Priorities Fiji: Locally Managed Marine Area community based management in Ra province PNG: Managing land-based threats and identifying livelihood opportunities and EAFM in Manus Island Solomon Islands: ICRM & EAFM witin community based program in Malaita and Isabel provinces Timor Leste: ICRM & EAFM in Atauro Island & Batugede Vanuatu: ICRM & EAFM in coastal communities

  7. Priorities – with funding gaps Regional Funding Priorities Study on welfare impacts of climate change across CT Social and natural impacts of climate change identified and database Solomon Islands Help coastal communities adapt to climate change Inshore fisheries mapping activities Timor Leste Mangrove rehab as climate adaptation tool Climate change information center

  8. The continuum of adaptation financing From vulnerability to Impacts Traditional development funding New and additional adaptation funding

  9. Funding Mechanisms for Adaptations to Climate Change Pilot Program for Climate Resilence - to address capacity, knowledge and resources constraints to achieve climate resilience. Climate Investment Fund - $75m grant over a five year period ADB -- PPCR activities in Tonga and PNG, & regional level World Bank -- PPCR activities in Samoa Country level : Samoa ($25m grant), Tonga ($15m grant) & PNG ($25m) Region-wide interventions covering 14 Pacific DMCs ($10m) Australia: AusAID and Dept. of Climate Change & Energy Efficiency UNDP, EU, DFID Implementing partners: SPREP, SPC, FFA, PIFS

  10. Conclusion ADB investments and technical assistance on climate change will double from $2.5B annually to $5B by 2020 Improve links of current initiatives to past or on-going investments and support programs - Country partneships strategies; business plans - Disaster risk reduction strategies and frameworks - National adaptation plans Enhance integration of CCA & DRR and mainstreaming of these into development processes and roadmaps
