Exeuctive & Partner Organization:
- Executive: MAL and MECDM
- Partners: UNDP, SPREP and ACOM
Description:
An adaptation implementation project. PACC is a regional project that aims to significantly improve the effectiveness of the response to climate change in the Pacific. The project will improve technical capacities to support appropriate adaptation centric policies, demonstrate cost effective adaptation techniques in Agriculture, water and coastal sectors and promote regional cooperation. It is designed to to lay the framework for effective and efficient future investment on the climate change adaptation in the Pacific.
Aims: To enhance the capacity of Solomon Islands (and other participating countries) to adapt to climate change, including climate variability, in key development sectors.
Objectives: The main objective of this project is to “increase the resilience and enhance adaptive capacity of communities, socio-economic activities and infrastructure”. This objective will be achieved through a project “Piloting climate change adaptation in food production and food security in a small island of Solomon Islands.” This project will also focus on enhancing, and where necessary, increasing food production and improving food security in a small island. The implementation of adaptation activities relating to food production and food security entails a myriad of activities that will also transcend water resources and coastal zone management.
