Accumulated impacts of small and

medium-sized events such as local

flooding (as in the picture), high waves

and localized droughts generate losses

that are equivalent to, or exceed, those

of single large disasters.

1. Strengthened integrated adaption and risk reduction to enhance resilience to climate change and disasters.

2. Low carbon development.

3. Strengthened disaster preparedness, response and recovery.

Framework for Resilient Development in

the Pacific

Building resilience to climate change and disasters

Development-first approach

Risk Governance Building Blocks

• A 'development-first'

approach to managing risk

• Transforming the

development agenda

• Risk Governance Building

Blocks

• Country-led resilient

development

Climate Finance Assessments

• Seven national climate finance

assessments in the Pacific

– Climate Public Expenditure and

Institutional Reviews (CPEIRs)

– Pacific Climate Change Finance

Assessment Framework (PCFAF)

• Undertaken in the Pacific region in

partnership with PIFS, SPREP,

USAID, DFAT, UNWOMEN, GIZ, ADB

and others.

• What is a CPEIR/PCFAF?

Fiji budget submission

• Develop affordable cyclone insurance cover for homes

• Funds for renewable energy development, including energy conservation and

bio-diesel and bio-gas development, in rural areas to reduce dependence on

traditional fossil fuels

• Environmental and Climate Adaptation Levy (ECAL)

• Improve the forecasting and reporting of weather events in order to make

preparations for natural disasters as effective as possible.

• The Ministry also covers the provisions of immediate relief and rehabilitation

in the aftermath of a natural disaster and funds towards the Disaster Risk and

Climate Adaptation Fund to construct and upgrade evacuation centres and

sea walls in low lying areas, provide water tanks and rain water harvesters to

homes in rural and maritime areas and relocate villages and settlements in

extreme cases.

Opportunities for the Pacific to deliberately integrate

Climate Change into budget and planning processes

• Climate Finance Assessments (CPEIR

or PCFAF)

• Climate Change Gender Budgeting

Integration Index (CCBII)

• Climate Finance Fiscal Frameworks

(CFFF)

• Climate Change Budget tagging

(CCBT)

• Cost Benefit Analysis
