EbA options assessment – identification and prioritisation of EbA options for Honiara
The aim of the ESRAM study was to provide a baseline overview of ecosystems and ecosystem services, to inform subsequent EbA phases of the PEBACC project involving the identification of EbA options for strengthening the resilience of Solomon Islands to the impacts of climate change
The bolded ecosystem services in this table are likely to be less resilient to future climate conditions

The report and its summary aim to support efforts to address air pollution in Asia and the Pacific by providing options for tackling air pollution in the context of the SDGs.
A summary of the Air Pollution in Asia and Pacific main report.
The objectives were to determine:
(1) the extent of damage to habitats important to coastal fisheries
(2) direct impacts on the ability of the communities to access marine resources
(3) how best to guide post-tsunami relief for rehabilitation of fisheries, development of sustainable fishery-based livelihoods and resource management planning

Villagers explained that losses of fishing gear were related to the destruction of houses.

An indication of the types of gear that were lost or damaged in the tsunami is given in this data, based on individual interviews with fisher.
