A new coastal monitoring and seabed mapping initiative has officially commenced in the Pitcairn Islands. Funded by the European Union and implemented by Expertise France, the Green Overseas Programme is delivering this Facility in close partnership with the Government of the Pitcairn Islands.

The objective of this initiative is twofold: to establish a reliable long-term sea level monitoring system to inform coastal management and resilience planning, and to undertake targeted seabed and coral mapping in Bounty Bay and Tedside to support environmentally responsible maritime access and marine conservation.

Torika Christian, External Group Manager from the Government of the Pitcairn Island welcomed the launch of the project: โ€œ๐˜๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ ๐˜—๐˜ช๐˜ต๐˜ค๐˜ข๐˜ช๐˜ณ๐˜ฏ, ๐˜ด๐˜ข๐˜ง๐˜ฆ ๐˜ฎ๐˜ข๐˜ณ๐˜ช๐˜ต๐˜ช๐˜ฎ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ข๐˜ค๐˜ค๐˜ฆ๐˜ด๐˜ด ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ฅ ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜ง๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฅ ๐˜ค๐˜ฐ๐˜ข๐˜ด๐˜ต๐˜ข๐˜ญ ๐˜ฑ๐˜ญ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ฏ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜จ ๐˜ข๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ฆ๐˜ด๐˜ด๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ๐˜ต๐˜ช๐˜ข๐˜ญ. ๐˜›๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜ด๐˜ต๐˜ข๐˜ญ๐˜ญ๐˜ข๐˜ต๐˜ช๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ ๐˜ฐ๐˜ง ๐˜ข ๐˜ฑ๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜ฎ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ๐˜ต ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ๐˜ช๐˜ต๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜จ ๐˜ด๐˜บ๐˜ด๐˜ต๐˜ฆ๐˜ฎ ๐˜ธ๐˜ช๐˜ญ๐˜ญ ๐˜ฑ๐˜ณ๐˜ฐ๐˜ท๐˜ช๐˜ฅ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ช๐˜ฎ๐˜ฑ๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ๐˜ต๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ต ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜ง๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ๐˜ฎ๐˜ข๐˜ต๐˜ช๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ ๐˜ง๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ ๐˜ฐ๐˜ถ๐˜ณ ๐˜ค๐˜ฐ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฎ๐˜ถ๐˜ฏ๐˜ช๐˜ต๐˜บ ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ฅ ๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ๐˜ญ๐˜ฑ ๐˜จ๐˜ถ๐˜ช๐˜ฅ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ง๐˜ถ๐˜ต๐˜ถ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ฅ๐˜ฆ๐˜ค๐˜ช๐˜ด๐˜ช๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ๐˜ด.โ€

We are pleased to share the recap video of the GO Programme's last workshop, capturing key moments and featuring exclusive interviews with participants.

๐Ÿ’ง Throughout the week, discussions explored critical water resilience challenges across island territories, including:

โ—พ Water resource management in fragmented and remote contexts
โ—พ Increasing reliance on desalination, rainwater harvesting and wastewater reuse
โ—พ Flood management strategies combining nature-based and engineered solutions
โ—พ The growing impacts of climate change, from droughts to extreme weather events and coastal pressures
โ—พ Monitoring systems, early warning tools and data collection for informed decision-making

๐Ÿค Participants also shared concrete experiences from across OCTs, highlighting:

โ—พ Governance models, financing challenges and opportunities for water projects
โ—พ Innovative and replicable solutions adapted to diverse island environments
โ—พ The importance of regional cooperation and knowledge sharing

๐Ÿ From field visits in Barbados to collaborative working sessions, the workshop fostered practical learning and collective reflection on building more resilient water systems.

๐ŸŽค The video also features exclusive interviews with participants, sharing insights and perspectives not yet revealed.

๐ŸŽฅ Interview : what are the main risks related to water management in island territories?

During our workshop in Barbados, Deborah Barlow, Climate and Environmental Officer for the Falkland Islands Government, shared key insights on the challenges the archipelago faces in securing its water resources.

๐ŸŒง๏ธ In 2020 and 2021, the islands experienced a period of reduced rainfall, highlighting the potential vulnerability of the water supply, particularly in the context of future climate change.

๐Ÿ‘‰This situation prompted a broader project, developed with the support of the Green Overseas Programme, aimed at:
- better understanding the water resources currently available,
- identifying when and under which conditions shortages could occur,
- and anticipating future needs.

Combining climate change projections and population growth, experts are now exploring several solutions to strengthen water security:
โœ”๏ธ Developing alternative catchment areas
โœ”๏ธ Considering additional boreholes
โœ”๏ธ Exploring seawater desalination

๐ŸŒ Climate change is increasingly threatening some of the worldโ€™s most remote and fragile heritage sites

Join a specialist webinar organised by the UK Antarctic Heritage Trust (UKAHT) as part of a GO Facility project for the British Antarctic Territory (BAT).

The session will explore how the heritage sector is addressing climate risks to vulnerable historic sites in Antarctica, drawing on the latest climate change risk assessment carried out by UKAHT.

Experts will discuss:
โ€ข Identifying and assessing climate risks
โ€ข Prioritising conservation actions
โ€ข Adaptation approaches and required skills
โ€ข Data, monitoring and collaboration

๐ŸŽ™ Speakers include:
- Gord Macdonald โ€“ Heritage conservation specialist with over 30 years of international experience
- Marcy Rockman โ€“ Archaeologist and climate heritage policy expert (former US National Park Service Climate Change Adaptation Coordinator)
- Hannah Fluck โ€“ Senior National Archaeologist at the National Trust

When climate change transforms glaciers, entire ecosystems are put at risk.

John Clorley, Director of Strategy and Policy and Principal Immigration Officer at the Government of South Georgia & the South Sandwich Islands, shares the major challenges his territory is facing: significant glacial retreat and its consequences for freshwater habitats, marine ecosystems, and ultimately fisheries and tourism.

South Georgia is home to 95% of the worldโ€™s Antarctic fur seal population โ€” nearly 7 million individuals โ€” as well as exceptional wildlife that makes the island globally renowned.

In the face of these changes, the priority is clear: invest in scientific research, anticipate shifts in natural systems, and share this data with the wider world.

As John highlights, while these territories cannot solve global climate change alone, they can document its impacts and contribute to global awareness.

Comment produire de lโ€™eau potable sur une รฎle aux ressources limitรฉes ?

Dans cette interview sur l'innovation dans le domaine de la production aquifรจre ร  Saint-Barthรฉlรฉmy, Sylvรจre Grรฉaux revient sur une initiative structurante pour lโ€™รฎle : valoriser les dรฉchets pour produire de lโ€™eau potable.

โ™ป๏ธ Le principe est simple :

1) Les dรฉchets sont brรปlรฉs dans lโ€™usine dโ€™incinรฉration.
2) La chaleur rรฉcupรฉrรฉe permet de chauffer lโ€™eau utilisรฉe dans le processus de production dโ€™eau potable.

Rรฉsultat :

โœ”๏ธ Une production nรฉcessitant 3 fois moins dโ€™รฉlectricitรฉ que lโ€™osmose inverse
โœ”๏ธ Une rรฉduction de la dรฉpendance รฉnergรฉtique
โœ”๏ธ Moins de pression sur la centrale EDF locale
โœ”๏ธ Et donc, une meilleure marge de manล“uvre pour rรฉpondre aux autres besoins de lโ€™รฎle

Dans cette courte interview, Johan LETANG (chargรฉ de mission adaptation au changement climatique en Polynรฉsie franรงaise) explique les raisons de sa participation ร  lโ€™atelier du Programme Green Overseas ร  la Barbade.

Un sujet en particulier a retenu son attention : ๐Ÿ’ง la recharge des aquifรจres avec des eaux traitรฉes, une pratique dรฉjร  mise en ล“uvre dans certains territoires.

En Polynรฉsie franรงaise, cette solution nโ€™est aujourdโ€™hui pas autorisรฉe. Les รฉchanges avec dโ€™autres รฎles permettent donc de mieux comprendre :
โ€ข les normes utilisรฉes
โ€ข les cadres rรฉglementaires existants
โ€ข et les conditions nรฉcessaires pour envisager des approches similaires sur d'autres territoires.
