The development of a Climate Change Monitoring Network (CCMN) for Hawai’i is a shared goal of a wide variety of Federal, State, and local agencies and other entities charged with understanding and managing natural resources in the State. This CCMN would integrate repeated measurements of geophysical variables (e.g., solar radiation, rainfall, relative humidity, soil moisture, stream flow) and biological variables (e.g., vegetation composition, bird abundance, stream organisms) to provide an enhanced ability to understand ongoing and future changes in Hawai’i. To support this effort, this project developed a series of tools, GIS maps, and plots to visualize the unique and complex climate on the islands of Hawai’i....

Climate change poses significant challenges to food production, natural resources management, and public health. Initiatives like ‘Climate-Smart Agriculture” (e.g., FAO, UNDP) and the growing field of ‘Climate Services’ are emerging globally to provide stakeholders (producers, managers, communities) with better climate-related information and solutions to cope with increasing climate variability. The long-term relationships and diverse professional networks cultivated by Cooperative Extension faculty places them in a unique and critical position to help clients and stakeholders sustain and improve food security, ecosystem services, and local health and livelihoods in the face of climate change. The intent of the...

The Pacific Island Climate Change Cooperative (PICCC) Climate Change Adaptation Video Series are a series of video created in close coordination with the PICCC profiling case studies of climate change adaptation as conducted by conservationists in Hawaiʻi. The videos are necessary in order to help educate, inform, and inspire the general public, peers, and potential conservation managers. The goals and objectives of the videos are to be engaging, exciting, and candid.

This workshop will build capacity within the Cooperative Extension Service (CES) in the College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources at the University of Hawaii at Manoa (CTAHR-UHM) to effectively incorporate climate science and climate-related information into CES programs and identify locally relevant strategies for climate adaptation. This effort will expand the work and impact of the Pacific Island Agroforesty Adaptation Initiative (PIAAI), a partnership between PICCC and College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources at the University of Hawaii at Manoa (CTAHR-UHM), currently focused on the Territories of Guam and American Samoa, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. The Hawaii-focused...

At the request of the Department of the Interior’s Office of Insular Affairs (OIA), the Pacific Climate Change Cooperative (PICCC) was asked to provide technical assistance to the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI), Guam, American Sāmoa, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia, and Palau in understanding and planning for localized impacts of global climate change. OIA requested that the PICCC engage key cross-sector decision makers and stakeholders within CNMI, Guam, American Sāmoa with the objectives to identify and articulate near-term priorities for funding as well as a process for developing long-term climate change adaptation plans. OIA also requested an analysis...
