This document was developed by the Pacific iCLIM Project and SPREP, in consultation with Fiji, Tonga and
Vanuatu Government representatives working in the areas of environmental management, climate change
and disaster risk management. Regional development and information management experts from
organisations in the Pacific region including SPREP, SPC, GIZ, PARBICA, UNDP and USP were also consulted.
The purpose of this document is to guide the development of strategic frameworks for managing data,
information and knowledge relevant to sustainable development and the related areas of climate change
and disaster risk management. This guidance is for governments, agencies, regional bodies and other

Annex.
In addition, these framework guidelines are accompanied by a set of guidelines that provide greater
direction on selected information management topics and practices.
