Climate Change and Biodiversity in Melanesia (CCBM): Assessing Vulnerability of Marine and Terrestrial Ecosystems to Projected Climate Change
The Bernice P. Bishop Museum and the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP) are undertaking an expert-led study to assess the vulnerability of biodiversity and island ecosystems in Melanesia to climate change. This project is one of eight grants from the MacArthur Foundation to identify the implications of climate change in the regions where the Foundation funds conservation efforts and to develop conservation and management approaches that address these threats. Other studies are addressing similar issues in Madagascar, Africa and the Caribbean. The CCBM study carried out by the Bishop Museum and SPREP is in close collaboration with the Pacific Science Association (PSA) and the Indo-Pacific Conservation Alliance (IPCA). The project will largely focus on climate impacts on marine systems but will include those on terrestrial areas as well.
