Framing the Pacific Support Role

Support Projects & Programs

PIFACC | DRR FFA

The PACIFIC PLAN

Rationale: DRR + CCA = Win/Win

• Climate system is fundamental to both issues: Majority of all disasters are originated by weather & climate extremes

• DRR and CCA strategies both are aimed at enhancing sustainability, resilient societies and human security

• Similar sectoral focus, complexities & challenges, rely on same type of measures and policies

• DRR offers opportunities for bottom-up strategies for adaptation to current climate variability and climate extremes

• CCA reduces risk of disasters/emergencies • DRR offers a way to address some of the main challenges to sustainable

national development
