Description
The Project aims at providing a substantive contribution to integrate longer-term climate change risks into development and resource management planning in the Pacific through:Focusing on enhancing the resilience of current development activities to the impacts of long term climate change;Incorporating adaptation to climate-change risks and related vulnerabilities into existing institutional and decision-making processes ("mainstreaming"), at both the community level and the national planning level;Recognizing the role of gender-sensitive approaches in enhancing communities' resilience, through community-based ("bottom-up") vulnerability assessment and participatory adaptation planning approaches;Promoting a real community engagement in the processes addressing climate-related risk; Delivering tangible adaptation measures through practical demonstration projects at selected pilot sites; and Selecting a foundation for a strategic approach to replicate and upscale adaptation at the Pacific regional level.
