Description
This Tuvalu NAPA-2 program will build on the NAPA-I/I+ in implementing its priorities. Main components: 1) Community-based adaptation of marine based livelihoods - includes activities to building resilience in livelihoods to climate impacts through an integrated package of measure that seek to enhance traditional fishing practices, through revitalisation of traditional practice and merging these with innovative new fisheries technologies; 2) Reducing disaster risk - improving access to disaster early warning systems for people on outer islands. This will include: improvements in regular weather forecasts; provision of a solar radio receiver at household level; introduction of a failsafe disaster warning system using a satellite-based SMS in the case that radio and satellite phones do not operate; an outreach programme; shelters; improved emergency plans; plus a range of other vital hardware and service improvements; and 3) Developing a mechanism that seeks to leverage international financing for community-based climate change adaptation on the outer islands through participatory development processes.
