Introduction
Transition of the entire global economy has led to rapid urbanization and modernization in the recent decade. This transition not only endangered the green economy and sustainable aspects of the world but also denuded the needs and the living conditions of the human beings. Excessive industrialization has resulted in massive transformation of the global climate with the increase in the average temperature by about 0.17 degrees Fahrenheit per decade since 1900s. The instance of climate change has directly impacted on the land use and land occupation. Thereby affecting land access and land tenure. Hence climate change has potentially exhorted direct and indirect negative repercussions on human livelihood and affected the welfare and the prosperity of the economy.
This project aims to analyze the issues related to the land tenure in context of climate change and the vulnerability of the current climatic conditions in South Pacific regions. An effective literature review has been provided followed by a descriptive discussion on land tenure rights, climate resilience in South Pacific, land tenure issues in South Pacific, effect of land administration on climate change, linkages between land tenure and climate resilience in South Pacific, effective land and climate vulnerabilities and the risk factors to recognize and record land tenure rights and climate action planning.
Literature Review
Recent studies have also depicted the fact that urbanization is one of the major aspects drive the climatic vulnerability and affects the land tenure in security in the developing regions of the world. The importance of good governance and sustainable development are some important aspects that dominate the present administrative culture. Numerous literatures have propounded effective theories on climate vulnerabilities and land tenure.
Climate change refers to the recent change in the global climatic system resulting in global warming due to the increased level of greenhouse gases. Researches shows that there is an effective impact on the human activities and land tenure systems due to alteration in the production consumption industry agricultural and loss of vegetation cover and other carbon sinks (Govan, 2019).
Climate variability indicates the climatic variations in the global climate and the change in weather patterns over vast regions that originate due to the variation in the ocean currents and other factors like El Nino Southern Oscillation.
Climate change impacts refer to the direct and indirect impacts of climatic variations by changing the key aspects of ocean currents atmospheric temperature precipitation level sea levels frequency of storm events. These aspects together changed the entire global climatic system.
Climate change adaptation indicates the adaptive capability of the human species. Humans spontaneously show adaptive features into organized processes. It is evident to note that climate changes have taken place due to the operation of land and natural resource use systems and other aspects of social and economic organizations (Charan, Kaur & Singh, 2017).
Land tenure indicates the land and the uses of natural resources health by the individuals in the society or by a social group.
Land policy refers to the set of rules and regulation enforced by the administration of a country in order to control the uses of lands and the land tenure, land holding, land access, land distribution and land resource utilization land occupation land related planning processes, settlement and management of disputes and conflicts (Barnett & McMichael, 2018).
In this project we shall propound the effective linkages between land tenure and climatic conditions in South Pacific regions and effectively show the impact of climate resilience on the land tenure system in this region.
Climate Resilience in South Pacific
The region of South Pacific experiences high impact climate changes which affect the economic functioning of the economies in these regions. Reports of International Panel on climate change indicate that the areas of South Pacific are among the top regions that faces most risks from natural disasters and adverse climatic conditions. Global warming in the recent decades has...
