[pacificdata.org](pacificdata.org) – the Pacific Data Hub – is the central repository of open data and knowledge products about the Pacific region. Anyone can access the public data on the Pacific Data Hub. You are encouraged to search, reuse and share the data on pacificdata.org.

The Pacific Data Hub holds a large and diverse collection of data, data insights, publications, and knowledge products on the Pacific across key sectors, including population statistics, fisheries, geoscience, agriculture, aquaculture, energy, education, human rights, climate change, and oceans, and it continues to grow.

While the intention is for the Pacific Data Hub to become a multi-stakeholder-owned and managed platform, it is currently a product of the Pacific Community (SPC), and as such is governed by SPC’s internal documents.

Let us know how you are using the data hub or if you wish to contribute to our data catalogue.

Built Environment

This report was prepared by Murray Ward. In developing its National Adaptation Programme of Action (NAPA), nationally appropriate mitigation actions (NAMAs) and a strategy for low carbon development, Samoa’s approach is consistent with the AOSIS group’s deep concerns about climate change and its international positions. Samoa is highly vulnerable to the effects of climate change. Erosion of coastlines due to wave action and the damage inflicted from strong winds during tropical cyclones have inflicted substantial economic losses in the past; in some instances the costs of cyclones has reached up to 45.6% of GDP. Environmental planning in Samoa, as in other Pacific Island countries, has therefore had to prioritise building enhanced adaptation and disaster management response capacity.

Keywords: NAPA, NAMAs, low carbon development, Samoa
