Description:A major objective of the U.S. Country Studies Program, in addition to inventorying greenhouse gases and adopting mitigation measures, is to assist participating countries in carrying out vulnerability assessments on the potential impacts from climate change and developing adaptation response strategies to address future threats. All island nations are taking some protective measures to cope with potential adverse impacts due to climate change. This workshop brought Pacific island nations together to discuss issues of common concern and to exchange experiences in dealing with potential adverse effects of climate change. Several island countries which have developed Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM) programs as part of their adaptation strategy were encouraged to share their experiences with those that are in the process of developing such programs. Vulnerability assessment tools and adaptation response strategies were also presented. The workshop identified several promising opportunities for regional cooperation and data information sharing.
