Sessions Session 1: Natural Hazard and

Disasters in the PacificIdentify and learn the most common hazards and understand why a hazard can become a disaster.

Session 2: Causes and Effects of Climate ChangeDemonstrate 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

Hydro-meteorological hazardGeological HazardBiological HazardOther Hazards

Session 2: Causes and Effects of Climate Change

Definition of weather, climate and variability

Difference between weather, climate and variability

Global Warming & Causes of Change

Greenhouse Gas EffectSources of GHG Observed & Expected

changes in the Pacific

Session 3: Vulnerabilities and ImpactsWhat 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 HealthPositive & 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
