​Climate change is one of the most pressing policy issues in the Pacific. The region is already experiencing intensifying threats like rising sea levels, increasing ocean acidification, and escalating extreme weather events, profoundly impacting the well being of people in the region. Reliable and actionable statistics and indicators are vital to enable evidence-based policy, decision-making, planning and investment. Importantly, these statistics and indicators must be able to speak to the economic, social and environmental impacts of climate change. At the same time, there is a need to strengthen the capacities of national statistical offices and national statistical systems more broadly to produce and disseminate climate change-related statistics, accounts, and indicators to better meet user needs.
This workshop focuses on:
- Experience sharing between Pacific national statistics office staff;
- Compilation of various SEEA accounts and other data sources related to climate change
- Development of different dissemination outputs to support the needs of different user groups.
