Report on PACCSAP Science Symposium, Honiara, Solomon Islands, 13-15 March 2013


The Pacific-­Australia Climate Change Science and Adaptation Planning (PACCSAP) Program Science Symposium was held in Honiara from 13 to 15 March 2013, as part of the Program’s ongoing work to communicate new climate science findings and to develop climate science capacity in key regional stakeholders in the Pacific and East Timor.

More specifically, the objective of the symposium was to communicate the latest Pacific climate science carried out under PACCSAP, to gain key stakeholder feedback and to engage in further discussion about shared experiences, learnings and achievements, and challenges and strategic directions of the program going forward.

The theme of the symposium was ‘Science-­based evidence to inform decision-­making’, and was targeted at Pacific NationalMeteorological Services (NMSs), regional organisations and national climate adaptation planners, policy-­makers and associated decision-­makers. More broadly, the symposium also provided an excellent networking and capacity development opportunity for scientists and regional stakeholders alike.

The symposium was delivered jointly by the Bureau and CSIRO specifically as part of the PACCSAP Science Program, with local support provided by the NMS and government of the Solomon Islands. It was run in conjunction with the PACCSAP Technical Symposium.
