Introduction
Urbanisation is rapidly spreading in Pacific countries. They are more prone to climate changes with visible results. Urbanisation is also of the reason for the depletion of natural resources and natural hazards. Apart from this, the infrastructure requirements are not up to the mark, which contributes in increasing negative impact of the climate. As mentioned in the paper by (), different land tenure categories have also influenced municipality effectiveness in development. This has stressed the efforts over land and hindered government programs to meet resilience aims. This paper is about New Urban Agenda when stakeholders decided to address challenges arising out of it.
Critical Analysis
The literature was divided into different themes, which has helped to reflect the perspective clearly. It has supported the author’s study in an impactful manner.
New Urban Agenda
It started in 2003 and in 2004 adopted by UNESCA. By 2015, it received wider support across the regions and different partners. It came out with different recommendations and it helped to address the challenges, which are in forefront of the consideration. This shows that detailed analysis of the impact due to climate change is done in order to sustain livelihoods, economy and different sectors in it.
Resilience Shocks and Stresses
This segment was divided into different parts in order to enhance the understanding about the factors, which are responsible for the designing of the systems, which are effective in combating the problem. Urbanisation and growth on one hand and natural hazards on the others can be compared easily in it to go deeply with resilience challenges.
Resilience Characteristics in the Pacific
It has helped to understand the resilience in context of Pacific geography. Whenever any disaster has hit any region, it is the society, whose collective efforts have contributed in facing it. Above all the rights over land is also a point of concern because it gives user an edge at one place to use it accordingly whereas on the other hand it imposes restrictions to go in terms with nature. The ecological relationships and economic condition of the diversity also drives growth, which are quite essential for the reader, to know about.
Challenges and Opportunities in Implementing Agenda
The main highlight of the article was well supported by the above topics, which helped in reaching to the position where problem and solution are standing in front of each other. This helps in relating the discussion in an appropriate manner and open doors for new dimensions.
Conclusion
It is found that urbanisation is the resultant, which defines growth but it has various reasons with it, which are responsible for its unmanaged and ineffective implementation. Planning, partnerships and effective action plans are key to success. The discussion is supportive in forming the base for the study and the language used was simple. It is able to reflect the efforts by the author in a structured manner. The various references and reports referred increases the authenticity of it. The paper is easy to follow and synchronised thoughts help in reaching to the conclusion in a natural manner.

Introduction
Pacific region and the island countries are more vulnerable to climatic conditions and their after impacts. The article is about the study of two research projects, which has helped in understanding the resilience from a different perspective. It stress on achieving urbanisation while managing climatic challenges at the same time. The case studies in the paper by Trundle, Barth and McEvoy (2019) have helped to understand the presented situation and form an opinion about it. It has also contributed in relating various social structures, knowledge, settlements and capabilities of organisations with respect to the topic. It also discuss about the areas where efforts are lagging and need immediate attention.
Critical Analysis
Pacific SIDS is the major geographical locations, which are considered in the article. The initial section highlights how it was formed and what importance it holds creates a visual about the location. The settlement in these islands and the administrative services, which look after providing clean water, housing and development, were introduced. It helps in the understanding the impact of Urban Agenda and planning done by government at national level more appropriately.
Planning for Climate Change
This section shares some information such as languages and natural disasters, which can be reduced to tabular presentation or included in appendixes. Government implemented various programs in the region. The impact of those programs and the challenges on their way could be more useful for the discussion rather how they were implemented. It can be said that this section could have been used more wisely.
Building on Endogenous Climate Resilience
This helps in bringing back the flow of discussion and various illustrations make it interesting. Port Vila and Black sand illustrations with the figure 1 makes it engaging to through the study. It helps to recognise the issues and relate with them. All the issues such as population, sanitation, water scarcity, land planning and Health are used. Map is also included which helps to align with geography and the issues prevailing.
Informality, Vulnerability and Resilience
It is an important theme of the discussion because it is able to draw the attention towards the relation between three. The settlements both in formal and informal nature has resulted in climate change, which in turn requires resilience measure to be followed.
Lessons
The above theme has helped to derive the lessons, which can be suggestive to UN and researchers while working on Global Agenda. The SIDS and the impact of those lessons are visible and therefore this case study method is able to discount theories and help in forming a concept out of it. The caution and observations are found to be less consistent with respect to case study
Conclusion
The themes designing could be better to maintain the flow of discussion. The areas of Pacific such as SIDS holds concentrated position in the discussion. The detailed information about various technical terms led the writing impressive and gave a technical touch to it. Being Pacific islands in forefront of climatic vulnerabilities the nuanced considerations need a balance approach to deal with. One of the Urban Agendas is focussed, which helps to deepen the understanding about climatic resilience. The references highlight the relative study with respect to the topic and thus show the reliability of sources.

Introduction
Vanuatu is one of the Pacific Islands, on which the research is done, as it is highly prone to climatic extremes. The qualitative study by MHumNut, Bambrick and Gallegos (2021) in the form of case presentation is used. The data was collected from locals, which is influenced by their experiences with climate. The food production was highly affected area at this place as climate change impacts production. The regular climatic challenges faced by FNS disturb the quality of food as it deteriorates the quality of land, farming practices, economic and environmental systems. Various factors, which are considered in the discussion, are the place: Vanuatu, what climatic extremes it faces and the cyclones.
Critical Analysis
Two key aspects of the research were Methodology and the results. This has shaped the research paper and helped in analysing the topic accurately.
Methodology
It is segregated in to (i) study sites: two villages of Vanuatu, which has different characteristics and represent two different types of population. The comparative study helps in understanding their lifestyle and explains the reasons of extremes. (ii) Study design and data collection: Author with the help of local guide initiated the collection of data, which reflects the validity of it. It makes study more authentic as ethical standard were taken care of. (iii) Data Analysis: The local experiences were in forefront, which is the essence of the article.
Results
The most awaited section, which shows the effectiveness of the study. It is reflective about practices, which are followed or need to be followed on order to deal with climatic challenges. For example, locals highlighted draught as the main reason for food shortages. The reasons were well analysed and the strategies were suggested to loss of food production. Both the villages had different strategies to deal with it. This as interesting to know as it motivates to follow alternatives because sticking to one line is not beneficial. The comparison shows that the unavailability of resources and guidance is responsible. The adaptive practices and the approach towards it are also highlighted well. One village received positive result and the other one stuck with the negative result. This contrast definitely affected food production. It has long-term health implication as well. Climatic conditions have such an in-depth impact on regular life, which is compared and contrasted in an impressive manner. The two extremes of same world are represented and the resilience stressed in indirect manner.
Conclusion
It can be concluded that though the research paper is well designed but it had some its limitations. As it was mentioned earlier that locals’ experiences is considered to collect data, it is responsible for biased results. Though it was able to convey the essence of the research, the above limitation opens the scope of study. The case study method was able to draw the attention towards responsible factors and helped to relate impact...
