Making land work Volume Two: case studies on customary land and development in the Pacific

Biodiversity Conservation

Available Online

Commonwealth of Australia

Pacific governments and communities are increasingly realising there is a need to strengthen and improve their systems for managing and using land. Since 2004 Papua New Guinea and Vanuatu have been developing major programs to reform land policy. Papua New Guinea has already begun implementing its own program—a long-term and sweeping initiative that aims to underpin the nation’s economic development agenda.

Engaging youth in sustainable development: learning and teaching sustainable developments in lower secondary schools

Biodiversity Conservation, BRB

The examples of practice presented in this book focus on students aged 10 to 15, which, depending on the national school system, includes the upper level of primary school, as well as the lower and partly the upper secondary school levels. This age group spans many developmental stages. Currently, most ESD publications are geared toward children in primary schools or toward students at the higher secondary and tertiary levels of education, who have almost reached adulthood. Beginning to concentrate more on the pre-adolescent students is about more than just adapting and implementing learning material to the potential of students from that age group. It also involves reflecting on the role that youth of this age group play in our present-day society. Are they taken seriously? What kinds of actions can they take? Whom do they trust? Do they have the capacity and ability to ask for considerable goals and to understand and make clear to others the necessity to act?

To be able to continuously grow the necessary food crop, the soil has to be replenished with nutrient from organic matter or chemical fertilizer. Water is also necessary for good plant growth from sowing/transplanting until the end of the crop. Protecting the crop from pests and diseases, wind damage and animals will help the plant produce the quantity required. Grow different types of crop to have continuous food supply.

The Caribbean and climate change : the costs of inaction

Herzfeld Cornelia

The two dozen island nations of the Caribbean, and the 40 million people who live there, are in the front lines of vulnerability to climate change. Hotter temperatures, sea-level rise and increased hurricane intensity threaten lives, property and livelihoods throughout the Caribbean. As ocean levels rise, the smallest, low-lying islands may disappear under the waves. As temperatures rise and storms become more severe, tourismthe life-blood of many Caribbean economieswill shrink and with it both private incomes and the public tax revenues that support education, social services, and infrastructure. And these devastating impacts will occur regardless of the fact that Caribbean nations have contributed little to the release of the greenhouse gases that drive climate change.

National CODEX

The Pacific Islands region is characterised by island nations with small populations scattered across an ocean area of approximately 36 million square kilometres. Less than 2 percent of this area is land. The region has a total population of around 8.5 million people. The 22 countries and territories of the Pacific include a mixture of continental islands, volcanic islands and low and raised coral atolls. These countries and territories have traditionally been divided into three groups - Melanesia (west), Polynesia (southeast) and Micronesia (north).
