  • Climate Change Vulnerability Assessment for the Island of Saipan, CNMI

    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.

The program is open to college students and graduates. Individuals interested in attending should contact the Clerk of the Supreme Court, Judy T. Aldan, by sending an email to [email protected]. The program will be held on Saipan, and it provides participants with an opportunity to experience first-year law school courses taught by seasoned law school professors. It is a three-week long program and includes two substantive legal subjects, legal writing and analysis workshops, Law School Admission Test (LSAT) preparation workshop, and assistance in preparing law school admission applications. In addition, the program incorporates a mock appellate hearing before a panel of justices. Participants are also paired with attorney-mentors to provide assistance and guidance. The Summer Pre-law Program is held every 3-4 years. Unfortunately, the 2020 schedule was postponed due to the Coronavirus-19 pandemic. Over the years, the pre-law program has seen over 32 participants obtain their juris doctor degree from law schools across the nation, and most have returned to the Northern Mariana Islands to serve our community as prosecutors, defense counsel, private practitioners, judge and justice.

In accordance with Regulation 20 of the Pacific Games Council Charter, NMASA offers the following information: Bid to Host the 2017 Pacific Mini Games: Saipan, Northern Mariana Islands 3 I. GENERAL BACKGROUND The Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands is compromised of 14 lovely islands in northern Micronesia. On our three main islands of Saipan, Tinian and Rota, one experiences the unhurried, friendly lifestyle and warm, island hospitality that are as unforgettable as our magical Micronesian sunsets. The population of the Northern Mariana Islands, as of January 1, 2011, is estimated at 50,000. Saipan, our largest island and the proposed site for the 2017 Pacific Mini Games, is the most developed of the Northern Marianas, and is home to most of our population. Saipan offers the visiting athlete an inviting combination of modern amenities, such as a thriving tourism district with world-class hotels, restaurants, and shops, and the beauty of a clean and quiet tropical island. Almost all major venues, including proposed Games villages, sports venues, and leisure sites, are located within a short walk or drive.
