  • Climate Change Vulnerability Assessment for the Island of Saipan, CNMI
    Climate Change Vulnerability Assessment For the Island of Saipan, CNMI January 2014 Saipan Climate Change Vulnerability Assessment | i About This Document The Climate Change Vulnerability Assessment for the island of Saipan is the product of a year-long collaboration between the CNMI Division of Coastal Resources Management and the participating agencies and organizations of the CNMI Climate Change Working Group. Ongoing support for the Vulnerability Assessment and Climate Change Working Group was provided by the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and contributions to the assessment stem from a wide range of federal and CNMI government agencies, non-governmental organizations, and community groups. Additional technical resources, tools, and expertise were leveraged from organizations throughout the Insular Pacific and beyond. The cumulative result of this diverse input is a project that meshes a community-based assessment and local knowledge with technical analysis and inquiry. This document presents the Vulnerability Assessment by highlighting its findings, as well as the process and information used to arrive at conclusions and recommendations. It is as much a framework for a mixed-methods assessment process as it is community narrative and practical study. Document Usage and Limitations This document is intended as an initial screening tool for prioritization of climate adaptation work on the island of Saipan. Usage of the Vulnerability Assessment should be limited to broad planning and policy purposes. Analysis of specific resources and geographic areas was conducted under potential future scenarios, which introduces inherent uncertainties and complicates field verification. As such, the findings, recommendations, and data within this document are not appropriate for application to site-specific engineering or other projects involving alterations to the physical landscape.
