Reports from the PACC project

A strategic focus for the Pacific Adaptation to Climate Change (PACC) project in 2010 was to enhance project implementation capacity at all levels from the regional to the country level in particular delivering on the three main components1 of the project and overall project management. Such a direction was given to the SPREP Regional Project Management Unit (RPMU) and UNDP by the PACC Project Board at its August 2010 meeting.

Report from the PACC project

PACC Project implements long -term adaptation measures to increase the resilience of a number of key development sectors in Pacific Island Countries to the impacts of climate change. This objective will be achieved by focusing on long - term planned adaptation response strategies, policies and implementation strategies to bring about this result. The key focal areas are water resources management, food production and food security, and coastal zone management.

The PACC is an initiative / opportunity to materialize the GEF support to adaptation into actual adaptation implementation in the Pacific Region (GEF Special Climate Change Fund – SCCF). The PACC is a direct response of UNDP and SPREP to PICs’ expressed wish to implement adaptation.
