Description
The Pacific Regional Strategic Program for Climate Resilience (SPCR) aims to facilitate more effective integration of CCA and related DRR for Pacific island countries to become resilient to climate change and climate-related disasters. As approved by the Pilot Program for Climate Resilience (PPCR) Subcommittee, the Pacific Regional SPCR has three components, which will complement and reinforce each other and will be delivered through existing regional organizations (CROP agencies) and mechanisms. These are: 1) Mainstreaming Climate Change Adaptation and Disaster Risk Reduction; 2) Identifying and Implementing Practical Climate Change Adaptation and Disaster Risk Reduction Knowledge and Experiences; and 3) Building and Supporting Pacific Developing Member Countries‘ Capacity to Respond to Climate Change Risks. ADB will administer Components 1 and 3, while WB will manage Component 2. 2-3 countries will be identified for pilot activities; pilot countries will exclude PNG, Samoa and Tonga, which have approved country PPCRs. The forthcoming project will be implemented for 3 years.
