The Government of Kiribati selected Abaiang and Tabiteuea North from a group of atolls considered ‘most vulnerable’. Then due to factors such as the inland shift of 80 metres of the coastline threatening Tebunginako village and the comparatively large population size and proximity to Tarawa, Abaiang was selected as the first atoll for the Whole of Island approach to take place.
This first fieldwork session was exploratory, aiming at launching a research programme concerning island vulnerability in the atoll states of Maldives and Kiribati.
This project demonstrates beach EbA at eroding beaches on Abaiang atoll, Kiribati, in cooperation with local communities, to extend their adaptive capacity to climate change and climate variability.

These regulations are called the **Phoenix Islands Protected Area Regulations**
Kiribati 20 year vision development plan known as the KV20. The KV20 is Kiribati’s long term development blueprint for the period 2016-2036.
Effects of climate change on sea levels and inundation in the Pacific region
The assessment is based on long-term observation series of the large scale features that influence the climate and weather of Pacific CMSs.
The objectives of this monitoring program are:
■ To detect and quantify major changes through time in the community structure and health of mangroves in the Pacific Island Region using biological and physical parameters.
■ To develop a centralised database system for mangrove monitoring for use by all
This policy applies to SPREP’s own data as well as data held by SPREP on behalf of government agencies and partners within the Pacific.
The purpose of this policy is to:
• encourage the free exchange of data with other government agencies and partners within the Pacific and with the public in the Pacific and beyond
• promote the benefits of data sharing, and its links to good governance, accountability, public participation and the rule of law
PEBACC has four outputs:
1. Ecosystem and socio-economic resilience analysis and mapping (ESRAM) completed as a basis for adaptation planning at national, provincial and community levels.
2. EbA options analysed, prioritised and plans developed.
3. EbA plans implemented with demonstrated benefits.
4. Communications and outreach products developed to promote integration of EbA options into climate change policies, plans and projects.
