A National Strategy for the Study of the Pacific A National Strategy for the Study of the Pacific Samantha Rose, Max Quanchi and Clive Moore Cover illustration: @ Daniel Waswas 2005 “Looking Straight (Future); Looking Sideways (Surroundings)” 56.5 x 75.5cm This was a commissioned art work for the inaugural conference of the Australian Association for the Advancement of Pacific Studies (AAAPS) by the noted contemporary artist from Papua New Guinea, Daniel Waswas. His comment on the painting notes: “The art is based on the Pacific region. One image is looking straight, a representation of progress, and asserts that we need to focus on the future by looking ahead. The other image looks sideways, it represents the need to move forward by looking around at our surroundings (the Pacific Islands in particular) and learning to understand our environment whilst acknowledging the difficulties faced before moving ahead together as a group.” Daniel Waswas may be contacted on: [email protected] A National Strategy for the Study of the Pacific By Samantha Rose, Max Quanchi and Clive Moore This book first published in 2009 by AAAPS (Australian Association for the Advancement of Pacific Studies) Brisbane, Australia Copyright © 2009 by Australian Association for the Advancement of Pacific Studies in Australia All rights for this book reserved.

A workshop in Canberra in 2004 and the subsequent first conference of the Association in Brisbane in January 2006 identified a malaise in Australia in teaching and research on the Pacific and called for a program to revive and enhance the excellence in teaching and research that had once marked Australia as the leader in the field. AAAPS also acknowledged the increasing concern in Australia about security, good governance, stability and development in the neighbouring region, which includes two territories formerly under Australian colonial control—Nauru and Papua New Guinea. The need for a review of teaching and research grew from the sense of falling behind felt among the Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences in universities, but equally among archives, libraries, galleries and museums. The result was that AAAPS ran a series of workshops, held its second national conference in Canberra in April 2008 and started planning for a third conference in Melbourne in 2010. An eJournal called PacifiCurrents, an AAAPS Newsletter and a website have also promoted Australia’s role in teaching and research on the Pacific, nationally and internationally. The objectives of AAAPS, a not-for-profit

    ADRC ANNUAL REPORT Asian Disaster Reduction Center 2017 ANNUAL REPORT No.20 2017 Foreword The Asian Disaster Reduction Center (ADRC), which was established in Kobe in July 1998, will celebrate its 20th anniversary this year. Since its founding, ADRC has been focused on promoting multilateral disaster risk reduction cooperation at the community, national, and regional levels all across Asia and the Pacific. Our activities include exchanges of disaster management experts from government organizations, the collection and dissemination of relevant information, and surveys and research on multilateral disaster risk reduction cooperation. Thus far, as many as 105 officials from 26 member countries have participated in our exchange programs. These interpersonal networks are our most valuable assets when it comes to enabling ADRC to develop and implement future activities intended to improve the resilience of Asian countries. We have worked in cooperation with our member countries to implement a variety of programs for disaster education, including programs that apply space-based technologies to disaster risk reduction. ADRC has also developed the GLIDE system, which is a practical tool for integrating disaster data and databases archived by organizations around the world. Even as we continue these activities, this anniversary provides an opportune time for ADRC to discuss the strategies and initiatives we will adopt over the next 20 years. As ADRC chairman, I sincerely appreciate your cooperation in these efforts, and I invite you to join us in promoting DRR in Asia so that together we can build more resilient societies for all.

  • The Countdown Is on for Carols by Candlelight in 2020
    THE COUNTDOWN IS ON FOR CAROLS BY CANDLELIGHT IN 2020 With only 50 days until Christmas Eve, the countdown is on for Vision Australia’s beloved Carols by Candlelight from the Sidney Myer Music Bowl. The event is working closely with broadcast partner, Channel Nine, to produce a magical Carols by Candlelight from the Bowl stage for the millions of people who tune in from around the country. A significant part of Australia’s Christmas tradition, this year the event will look a little different with no audience on site due to public health considerations. After working with our stakeholders on the possible options for this year’s event, and using the most up to date public health advice available, Vision Australia has taken the tough decision to change the way this event comes to life. Vision Australia CEO Ron Hooton understands Carols by Candlelight is an event near and dear to so many Australians, but having a healthy and COVID-free Christmas remains the top priority, as well as the safety of the public, its staff and the many volunteers who support the event. ‘In our 83 years this is the only time we’ve had to do this so it’s with the utmost disappointment that we’ve had to make this decision,’ Mr Hooton said. ‘While everyone involved would have loved to have had a crowd this year at Carols by Candlelight, we do urge our loyal fans to still be part of the big night with their family and friends from the comfort of their lounge rooms or backyards.’ Vision Australia’s Carols by Candlelight in Melbourne always attracts Australia’s music theatre’s brightest stars and this year is no exception.

Tropical cyclones (cyclones) are natural meteorological events which cannot be prevented. However, the combination of their impacts and those of other stressors — such as poor water quality, crown-of-thorns starfish predation and warm ocean temperatures — can permanently damage reefs if recovery time is insufficient. In the short term, management response to a particular tropical cyclone may be warranted to promote recovery if critical resources are affected. Over the long term, using modelling and field surveys to assess the impacts of individual tropical cyclones as they occur will ensure that management of the Great Barrier Reef represents world best practice. This Tropical Cyclone Risk and Impact Assessment Plan was first developed by the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority (GBRMPA) in April 2011 after tropical cyclone Yasi (one of the largest category 5 cyclones in Australia’s recorded history) crossed the Great Barrier Reef near Mission Beach in North Queensland.
