Sessions

Session 1: Natural Hazard and Disasters in the
Pacific
Identify and learn the most common hazards and
understand why a hazard can become a disaster.

Session 2: Causes and Effects of Climate
Change
Demonstrate understanding of the causes and the
effects of climate change.

Session 3:Vulnerabilities and Impacts
Demonstrate the skill to identify vulnerabilities to
hazards and climate changes and variability and its
impacts on communities and their livelihood.

Session 4: Identification of Option for
Adaptation, Emission Mitigation and Disaster
Risk Reduction
Identifying different ways of adapting to changes and
reducing disaster risks through sustainable
community development.
Session 1: Natural Hazard and Disasters in the Pacific
a. Definitions of hazard and disaster simplified from
the Pacific Disaster Net/ some UNISDR
b. Difference between hazard and disaster
c. The different types of hazards

Definition of weather,
climate and variability
Difference between
weather, climate and
variability
Global Warming & Causes

Observed & Expected
changes in the Pacific
Session 3:Vulnerabilities and Impacts
What is vulnerability?
Why are we so vulnerable?
How can we assess vulnerability to
disaster risks and climate change?
Impact of CC and Hazards/Disasters
on various sectors in the Pacific.
 Human development
 Biodiversity (Marine/Land)
 Agriculture/Forestry
 Water
 Coastal Fisheries
 Tourism
 Physical Infrastructures
 Health
Positive & Negative Impacts
Session 4: Identification of Option for
Adaptation, Emission Mitigation and
Disaster Risk Reduction
What is mitigation?
(reducing emission and
reducing risk to hazards)
How can communities
adapt to changes?
How can communities
reduce disaster risks?
For each examples and
approaches provided
