supporting adaptation plans & policies:
Mr Peniamina D Leavai
Project Manager PACC, Climate Change
Division
SPREP
2. How does it support NAPs?
• Framing the Pacific support role
• Working with new and evolving networks
• Integrating CCA in Dev Planning : Use of Tools
• PACC Programme: planning and implementing
sector adaptation at community levels
3. Framing the Pacific Support Role
Support Projects
& Programs
PIFACC | DRR FFA
The PACIFIC PLAN
4. Rationale: DRR + CCA = Win/Win
• Climate system is fundamental to both issues: Majority of all disasters are
originated by weather & climate extremes
• DRR and CCA strategies both are aimed at enhancing sustainability,
resilient societies and human security
• Similar sectoral focus, complexities & challenges, rely on same type of
measures and policies
• DRR offers opportunities for bottom-up strategies for adaptation to
current climate variability and climate extremes
• CCA reduces risk of disasters/emergencies
• DRR offers a way to address some of the main challenges to sustainable
national development
