The key purpose of the Marshall Islands’ Country Programme (CP) is to enable the Marshallese climate action aspirations to be realised by identifying short-term and long-term projects, programmes and investment priorities. The CP outlines the Marshall Islands’ national priorities and presents opportunities for the preparation of GCF funding proposals leading to transformational impacts.

The Green Climate Fund (GCF) was established in 2010 and is now the world’s largest fund dedicated to the fight against climate change. Finance from the GCF can be used to support the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI) to achieve a paradigm shift to low-carbon pathways and climate-resilient development. The GCF aims to achieve this by investing in transformative projects and programmes on climate adaptation and mitigation that contribute to national climate change policies and priorities. The RMI GCF Handbook has been prepared to provide clear, simplified and practical guidance for stakeholders to understand the GCF’s requirements for accessing resources to develop and implement climate change projects.

PACC reports

At the second PACC Multipartite Review Meeting in August 2011 it was agreed that Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA) would be incorporated into PACC pilot demonstration projects. This report documents the planning of the PACC CBA work program, outputs and impacts to date, and next steps for the coming 12 months. The focus of the report is an evaluation of three CBA training workshops which were run between November 2011 and February 2012.

Te Kaniva (Tuvalu Climate Change Policy) prescribes the Government and the people of Tuvalu’s strategic polices for responding to climate change impacts and related disaster risks over the next 10 years (2012–2021). The Policy defines seven thematic goals, strategies and desired outcomes that the Government and the people of Tuvalu have prioritized for implementation to ensure that safety and resilience are achieved. The Policy is directly linked to the National Strategic Action Plan for Climate Change and Disaster Risk Management (NSAP). In both the policy and NSAP, climate change refers to both adaptation and mitigation unless specifically differentiated. The Policy covers climate change impacts and related climate and hydrological hazards whereas the NSAP covers geological and anthropological hazards and related disasters.

The PACC Project aims to enhance the adaptive capacity of human and biophysical systems through measures designed to reduce the vulnerability to the adverse effects of climate change on key priority development sectors of government (coastal, food production and food security, and water sectors). The three main building blocks or outcomes of the project – mainstreaming, demonstration and communications – are implemented at the community and country levels while supporting the systemic and institutional capacity to address adaptation across the Pacific islands region.
