The Pacific Adaptation to Climate Change initiative is a regional effort that brings the Pacific nations together to enhance the capacity of countries to increase resilience and reduce vulnerability to the adverse effects of climate change.Known simply as PACC, this regional effort constitutes an implementation framework, which caters for a long term approach to adaptation measures by strengthening policy frameworks, instituting design guidelines, and improving capacity with technical expertise. PACC projects are implemented nationally in any key areas; food production and food security, coastal management and water resource management.

The Work Programme and Budget (WP&B) is prepared in accordance with the requirements of the SPREP Financial Regulations and is expressed in USD. The Secretariat proposes a balanced budget of anticipated income and expenditure of US$11,550,052. This is the second year that the SPREP budget summary is using a revised format which follows that used by the Secretariat of the Pacific Community and the Pacific Islands Forum Secretariat, which links the sources of funding to the core and programme budget components. The revised budget for 2010 accounts for the actual revenue and expenditure for the six months to 30 June 2010, and the predicted revenue and expenditure to December 2010. The 2011 WP & B is aligned with the 2004-2013 Strategic Programmes and the current (2005-2009) Action Plan, which is scheduled to be replaced by a new 2011-2015 Strategic Plan. It is also anticipated that the Secretariat will receive multi-year rather than annual funding from 2012. In this context, the 2011 WP & B is a transitional one.

Mainstreaming climate change into national development planning : a training manual

Climate Change Resilience, Biodiversity Conservation

King, Peter

Pacific Island countries and territories (PICT)1 are aware that climate change presents significant and growing risks to their sustainable development, including possible loss of some small atoll islands that are barely above sea level. PICTs have been among the strongest advocates globally to argue for increased, coordinated international effort to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and their plight has been recognized in ongoing global climate change negotiations. With the support of various development partners, the PICTs have also been active in developing climate change mitigation and adaptation strategies.
